No major planet orbits in the opposite direction of the rest of the solar system. All 8 planets orbit (revolve) counter-clockwise as seen from the arbitrary "north" or above the solar ecliptic.
Although the phenomenon is observed on a smaller scale with some moons of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, this would require too great a change in momentum for a large planet. The planets orbit in the same direction as the spin of the Sun, as would be expected if they all formed (as is now theorized)from a disc of material orbiting the protostellar Sun.

Does the earth and other planets revolve around the sun?
Yes, the Earth and other planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun in elliptical orbits due to the force of gravity. This orbital motion is what causes the planets to move in their respective paths around the Sun.
True of planetary movement in your solar system?
In our solar system, planets orbit the Sun in elliptical paths. The movements of the planets are influenced by gravity, causing them to maintain their orbit and follow predictable paths. Additionally, the planets rotate on their own axes as they revolve around the Sun.
What is the description of the solar system in which all the planets revolve around earth?
The concept that all planets revolve around Earth is known as the geocentric model. This idea was proposed by early astronomers before the heliocentric model, with Copernicus and Galileo helping to advance the understanding that Earth and other planets actually revolve around the Sun.
What is the name for the sun all of the planets and the comets etc that revolve around it?
The name for the sun, planets, comets, and other celestial bodies that revolve around it is called the solar system.
What is the name for the plane in which most of the planets revolve?
The plane in which most of the planets, including Earth, revolve around the Sun is called the ecliptic plane. This plane is defined by the Earth's orbit around the Sun and serves as a reference point for the orbits of other planets in our solar system.
What two planets revolve around the sun other than Pluto?
All planets revolve around the Sun.
Why do planets in your solar system revolve around the sun and not other planets?
the sun's gravity
Does the earth and other planets revolve around the sun?
Yes, the Earth and other planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun in elliptical orbits due to the force of gravity. This orbital motion is what causes the planets to move in their respective paths around the Sun.
Do moons revolve around other planets?
Yes. A moon (or natural satellite) do revolve around other planets besides Earth. The only two planets without moons revolving around them are Mercury and Venus.
Which feature distinguishes Uranus from other planets?
It rotates in opposite (retrograde) direction from other planets
Planets revolve around the sun?
according to newton's law of gravitation every object in the nature attract other due to its gravitational pull so planets revolve around sun.
How many planets in your solar system revolve around the sun?
In our solar system, eight known planets revolve or orbit around the Sun (as do a lot of other objects, dwarf or minor planets, asteroids, comets, and so forth).
Why do the earth moon and all the other planets revolve around the sun?
The planets revolve around the sun due to the force of gravity. Gravity causes objects with mass to be attracted to each other. The sun's massive gravitational pull keeps the planets in orbit around it.
Do comets revolve around other planets?
The revole around the sun
How many planets revolve around our sun?
Eight, as Pluto and Ceres are now classified as dwarf planets. The other eight planets are (in order of distance from the Sun):MercuryVenusEarthMarsJupiterSaturnUranusNeptune
In what type of system do the Earth Sun planets and stars revolve?
The Sun, Earth and other planets, along with many other items are part of a Solar System.
What planets does Mars revolve around?
Mars does not revolve around any planets, it is a planet in its own right. If it did, it would be called a moon. It orbits the sun directly.
