The suns huge gravitational force keeps the planets in an orbit around it.
Jupiter is.
The Earth and all the planets resolve around the sun.

The planets revolve (orbit) in an anticlockwise direction when observed from a point high above the Earth's north pole.
All the planets revolve around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction, as seen from above the Earth's north pole.
NO. They orbit counterclockwise (anticlockwise) when viewed from above the Earth's north pole, which is the usual convention. (Mercury and Venus are called the "inferior planets" because their orbits are between the Sun and the Earth.)
Planets move around the sun in a counterclockwise direction as viewed from above the Earth's North Pole. This is known as the prograde motion.
All planets in our Solar System, viewed from above our North Pole, revolve around the Sun in an anti clockwise direction.
Planets orbit in an elliptical shape around the Sun, with the Sun located at one of the foci of the ellipse. All planets in our solar system revolve counterclockwise when viewed from above the Sun's north pole.
