Since the sun rotates counter clockwise the planets also revolve counter clockwise.

∙ 13y agoWhen our solar system was born it was a 50-50 chance for our solar system to either go counter clockwise or clockwise because our sun is in the middle.

Where do member of solar system?
counter clockwise
What would happen if the solar system orbit's clockwise instead of counter clockwise?
the law of gravitiy will reverse
All the planets in your solar system rotate counterclockwise except for which planet?
Every planet except Venus and Uranus in our solar system rotates counterclockwise as viewed from above the North Pole of the planet. Venus has a slow clockwise rotation and Uranus rotates on its side.
In a low pressure system which direction do winds in the northern hemisphere blow?
In the northern hemisphere the circulation around a high is clockwise. In the southern hemisphere the circulation around a high is counter-clockwise.
What direction do the earth and moon orbit?
If you stood at the north pole and jumped up to look down on our solar system, the earth would be orbiting counter-clockwise, as well as spinning counter-clockwise. The moon would also be orbiting counter-clockwise, as well as spinning counter-clockwise at 1 revolution per orbit. The Earth then rotates 366.25 times per year approximately, which makes for 365.25 days since one is taken up by orbiting the sun.
Where do member of solar system?
counter clockwise
Where do members of solar system revolve?
counter clockwise
Does Mars rotate clockwise or counter clockwise?
Mars rotates counter-clockwise like almost all other objects in our solar system. Within our solar system, only Venus and Uranus are known to have different rotational patterns.

What is the only planet in your solar system that rotates counter clockwise?
There are two, Venus and Uranus.
Does neptune spin clockwise or counter clockwise?
Every planet in our solar system rotates counterclockwise except Venus and Uranus.
Direction is the solar system rotating and revolving?
If you looked from the "top" it would be clockwise, but then if you looked from the bottom it would be counter-clockwise (anti-clockwise). Since there is no "top" or "bottom", there is no direction except "around".
Does the sun move counterclockwise or clockwise?
It depends on your view point. Looking at the solar system from above our north pole, the sun and all of the planets rotate/orbit counter clockwise (or anti clockwise).
What planet orbits the other way then earth?
All the planets in the solar system orbit in the same direction, counter-clockwise.
Does earth spin counter clockwise?
Almost all of the material that formed the Solar system revolved around the Sun in one direction. This represents the conservation of angular momentum when the material contracted to form the Sun and its planetary disk. Since then, collisions and localized gravity have created exceptions to the general counter-clockwise rule (Venus spins slowly clockwise on its axis). The Earth rotates (spins) on its axis counter-clockwise, and orbits the Sun counter-clockwise as well, as viewed from the North Pole of the Earth or Sun. These are arbitrary concepts of "above" and "below" the plane of the Solar System. The Moon also revolves around the Earth counter-clockwise.
