The same direction that the Earth rotates around its axis.
If you look downward at the solar system from the direction of the north star,
the Earth's rotation AND its revolution around the sun would both be counter-clockwise.
All the other planets revolve on their axis in the same direction, except for Venus and Uranus.

∙ 15y agoEach planet travels on its own path around the sun. This path is called orbit. The orbit of a planet is not circular as the astronomers before thought. It has the shape of an ellipse. An ellipse is a closed curve formed around two fix points.

∙ 14y agoI was asking the same question for my homework. I have been learing about the planets all week in science week and im 99% sure that this is called an orbit!

Planets revolve around the sun along?
In one word 'YES'. The paths that you describe are the planets orbits. These orbits are shaped like 'Ellipsoids'., that is an ellipse that doesn't quite close-up , but overloops with every circuit. The Sun lies not at the centre of the ellipsoid, but at one of the foci. As a consequence planets following their orbits paths speed up (Nearest the Sun) and slow down (Furthest from the Sun).
Which type of path do planets follow around the sun?
Due to the sun's gravity, planets typically follow an ellipse pattern around the sun. The pattern may be circular, but is slightly elliptical.
The shape of the path of a planet or asteroid around the sun is what?
Planets remain almost perfectly spherical as they move around the sun. The paths they follow are ellipses, with the sun at one focus of each ellipse.
Who gathered the data that showed that the planets travel in elliptical paths around the sun?
Tycho Brahe.
What do all the planets follow as they rotate around the sun?
The gravatiational pull. They orbit around the sun.
What are the planets orbits?
The planets orbits are the routes or paths that the planets follow around our sun. One orbit is one trip around the sun (one year).
Planets revolve around the sun around what paths?
eliptical
What paths do planets revolve around the sun with?
eliptical
What would happen if the suns gravity did not pull the planets tword it?
The planets would no longer follow their orbital paths around the Sun. They would move away from the Sun and travel in straight lines.
Where are the outer planets located in relationship to the sun?
They follow orbital paths which, like those of the inner planets, are centered on the sun, but the outer planets, without exception, are farther from the sun than any of the inner planets is.
Do inertia and magnetism hold the planets in their revolutionary paths around the sun?
no. inertia and gravity hold them in their paths.

What is the same for all planets in the solar system?
They all have elliptical paths around the Sun.
