∙ 11y agoYes, and this tells us some thing about the formation of the solar system: The planets formed together with the sun from an orbiting disc of dust and gas.

All comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets?
All comets do not orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets. Some comets orbit in a clockwise direction, while others orbit in a counterclockwise direction.
What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?
In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.
What planets are retrograde?
All of the planets in our solar system orbit the sun in the same direction.
What planets do not orbit around the sun in the same direction?
So far, all the planets discovered orbiting THIS star orbit in the same direction; counter-clockwise as seen from high above the north pole. We expect that all planets in a particular solar system are likely to orbit in the same direction.
What are 3 distinctive characteristics of orbit of planet and moon in the solar system?
1). They orbit in the same around the sun, and as the sun. 2). Orbits of planets and their larger moons are in just about the same plane. 3). Almost all planets and moons rotate on their axes in the same direction as the planets orbit the sun.

Do All planets in your solar system orbit the sun in the same direction?
no
Why do all planets orbit around the Sun in the same major direction?
Gravity
Do most asteroids orbit in the same direction as planets?
Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets
Do all 8 planets orbit the sun counter-clockwise?
Yes, all of the planets in out solar system orbit the sun counterclockwise (anticlockwise) when viewed from above the north pole looking 'down'. Not all of them rotate counterclockwise on their axis though, the two exceptions are Venus and Uranus.

Do planets always move east against the stars?
All the planets do orbit the sun in the same direction. However, as we orbit the sun quicker than the planets further out from us, and slower than the ones inside us they do at times appear to be moving the other direction.
Which direction is Mercury?
It can be any direction. All the planets orbit the sun, so it movies.
What planet orbits the other way then earth?
All the planets in the solar system orbit in the same direction, counter-clockwise.
