Why do the planets revolve around the sun in the same direction?

The planets in our solar system all travel in the same direction around the Sun due to the way our solar system formed from a rotating disk of gas and dust. This rotation set the initial direction of the planets' orbits, resulting in them all moving in the same counterclockwise direction when viewed from above the solar system.


Does Venus have a retrograde revolution?

Prograde. In our solar system, prograde is counterclockwise rotation or revolution. Retrograde is clockwise rotation or revolution.Clockwise and counterclockwise are "as viewed from above the Earth's north pole".All solar system planets have a prograde rotation except Venus and Uranus which have retrograde rotation.All the planets have prograde orbital motion (revolution) around the Sun.So, Mercury has prograde motion in both cases.
