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.

Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThe planets have different distances r to the sun. The orbit time T= 2pi r/v. The farther the distance r, the longer the orbit time.

that's only if you are talking about earth :)

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 planets are retrograde?
All of the planets in our solar system orbit the sun in the same 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 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.
How are inner and outer planets the same?
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, while the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are the same in that they are spherical, the orbit the Sun in the same direction and they have an elliptical orbit.
Why do all planets orbit around the Sun in the same major direction?
Gravity

Do All planets in your solar system orbit the sun in the same direction?
no
Do most asteroids orbit in the same direction as planets?
Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets
Do all the planets orbit in the same direction?
All the planets discovered up to this date moves in same direction except uranus and venus.
What the same about the planets?
They orbit around the sun.
What planets orbits around the sun in backward direction from east to west?
All the planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun in the same direction.However, there are two planets that rotate on their axis "backwards" compared with the others. They are Uranus and Venus.
What word means to orbit in the opposite direction to the norm for planets?
The normal orbit of planets and moons is in the same direction as the spin of the parent body. The particular norm in our solar system is counter-clockwise. Planets or moons that orbit in the reverse direction (clockwise) are termed retrograde. Confusingly, the same term (retrograde rotation) is used to mean clockwise spin or rotation.
