They don't. Uranus spins on a "sideways" axis with retrograde spin. Venus also
has a retrograde spin. Most spin in the same direction though. This is probably
because of how the Solar System was formed, from a spinning disc of material.

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.
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.
Do all planets revolve in the same direction?
Yes. All planets revolve around the Sun in an counter-clockwise direction, as viewed from the celestial north pole.
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.
Does the earth rotate east to get sun?
I am not sure what you are asking here, So I will try my best at guessing. Why does the earth rotate in the direction and the way it does, and all of the other planets rotate in the direction as well, and all of the planets orbit in the same direction around the star. All orbiting the same way. The milky Way Galaxy spirals again in the same circular orbit direction. I too wondered why does everything spin, rotate, orbit, in the same direction. Like a lot of science, This is only a theory, The theory I find that makes sense to me, is atoms and electrons spin in this way, If this spin conserves momentum, then our solar system, and galaxy, and all other galaxy's in the universe will spin the same. An interesting thought?
Do all planets spin on in axis in the same direction?
No, some do but Uranis is tilted almost 90 degrees (so is lieing on its side), and Venus ... with a slow rotation in the opposite direction. Spin is the result of random collisions, not some orderly process.
Why do all the planets orbit in the same direction?
To keep it simple, gravity. When the glop that started this little neighborhood got together, there was a net spin. That net spin pulled on everything around it and make all the little bits go around the same direction. As they accumulated into larger bits (planets, moons, etc.) they just kept going the same direction. Now, your turn. Why is the solar system essentially flat. hint: gravity works here, too. Little pulls and after a few billion years, it all comes together.
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.
Do the other planets spin?
All the planets that we know about spin, yes. Some spin faster or slower, or on a different axis, but they all spin.
What planets are retrograde?
All of the planets in our solar system orbit the sun in the same direction.
Venus and Uranus spin in what direction of the other planets?
Venus Uranus Pluto all spin backwards (clockwise) Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune all spin forwards (counter-clockwise)

Why isn't phosphorus magnetic?
The outer electrons do not spin in all the same direction-
Why do the planets all orbit in one direction?
The Sun and planets were all most likely formed from a single gas cloud several billion years ago. The center of this region became compressed under gravity, while the planets formed from areas of higher density which could attract more matter. Everything in the solar system maintained the initial spin of that cloud, and so all the planets orbit the Sun in the same direction.
