Most planets rotate on their axes in what direction?
Most planets rotate on their axes in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above the Sun's north pole. This direction is known as prograde rotation. Venus is an exception, as it rotates in a retrograde or clockwise direction.
What two planets rotate retrograde to the sun?
Venus and Uranus are the two planets that rotate in a retrograde motion compared to their orbits around the Sun. This means their rotation is in the opposite direction to most other planets in our solar system.
Do the planets rotate around the sun?
Yes, all of the planets rotate around the sun, in the same direction but at different speeds and time periods. well planets rotate on their own axis, the correct term would be revolve. The planets revolve around the sun
Direction planets rotate?
In our solar system, most planets rotate counter-clockwise as seen looking down on their north poles (north poles as defined by the International Astronomical Union). They all orbit the Sun in this same direction. On Earth this is noticeable in the direction the Sun moves through the daytime sky. As the Earth rotates on its axis, the Sun seems to rise in the east and set in the west. Venus is a notable exception. It rotates in the opposite, clockwise, direction. Uranus is titled "sideways", with its axis almost in line with its orbital plane. However it does rotate in the same direction as Venus, just about.
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."
Do the planets and sun rotate the same direction?
Only some.

Which direction does Neptune rotate around the Sun?
Counterclockwise (that's anticlockwise) as viewed from above its North Pole.
What two planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction that they orbit the Sun?
Mercury and Jupiter.
