Do the planets rotate around the sun?
Yes, all of the planets rotate around the sun, in the same direction but at different speeds and time periods. well planets rotate on their own axis, the correct term would be revolve. The planets revolve around the sun
Direction planets rotate?
In our solar system, most planets rotate counter-clockwise as seen looking down on their north poles (north poles as defined by the International Astronomical Union). They all orbit the Sun in this same direction. On Earth this is noticeable in the direction the Sun moves through the daytime sky. As the Earth rotates on its axis, the Sun seems to rise in the east and set in the west. Venus is a notable exception. It rotates in the opposite, clockwise, direction. Uranus is titled "sideways", with its axis almost in line with its orbital plane. However it does rotate in the same direction as Venus, just about.
Most planets rotate on their axes in what direction?
They rotate counterclockwise, looked atfrom an imaginary pointabove the Earth'snorth pole. That's the same directionas the Sun.
Are there any exceptions to the rule that planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction that they orbit the Sun?
Venus, Uranus and Pluto are exceptions.
Do most planets rotate in the same direction as the sun?
Planets orbit in some direction. However, what we CALL that direction depends on where we look at them from. If you look at the solar system from above the Sun's north pole, it's rotating counterclockwise; if you look at it from above the south pole, it's rotating clockwise. So it's essentially meaningless to ask whether planets in other systems rotate "in the same direction."
Do the planets and sun rotate the same direction?

What two planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction that they orbit the Sun?
Mercury and Jupiter.
Which direction does Neptune rotate around the Sun?
Counterclockwise (that's anticlockwise) as viewed from above its North Pole.
Why sun is not rotate?
In fact, the Sun does rotate.
