What the revolutions of Mars?
all the planets move in the same direction counter-clockwise
What is the rotation of all the planets?
Looked at from the direction of the Pole Star, most of the planets appear to move anticlockwise, the same sense of rotation that causes the Sun to rise in the east every day. The exceptions are Venus and Uranus.
What fraction of the moons of the planets orbit in the same direction that their planets rotate?
Most moons orbit their planet the same way the planet rotates. One of Neptune's moons is very different. That moon goes in the opposite direction of Neptune's rotation.
Do planets always move east against the stars?
All the planets do orbit the sun in the same direction. However, as we orbit the sun quicker than the planets further out from us, and slower than the ones inside us they do at times appear to be moving the other direction.
Do most asteroids orbit in the same direction as planets?
Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets
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 satellites move in the same pattern as planets and stars?
Obviously. Since they move in an ellipse around the Earth (or other central body), they change direction all the time. The only way NOT to change direction would be to move in a straight line; satellites don't do that.
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 most planets rotate in the same direction as the sun?
Planets orbit in some direction. However, what we CALL that direction depends on where we look at them from. If you look at the solar system from above the Sun's north pole, it's rotating counterclockwise; if you look at it from above the south pole, it's rotating clockwise. So it's essentially meaningless to ask whether planets in other systems rotate "in the same direction."
Why do the planets revolve around the sun in the same direction?
They were formed by a nebula that was rotating in that direction.
Do the planets and sun rotate the same direction?
Only some.
