Asteroids revolve about the sun in elliptical orbits, just like the planets do, and for the same reasons (gravity and momentum).
False. While most comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets (counterclockwise when viewed from above Earth's North Pole), there are exceptions. Some comets have retrograde orbits, meaning they orbit in the opposite direction of the planets.
No, planets in our solar system all orbit the Sun in the same counterclockwise direction as the Sun rotates on its axis.
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
The planets revolve (orbit) in an anticlockwise direction when observed from a point high above the Earth's north pole.
In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.

No. Planets orbit the Sun (or some other star) in ellipses.
It can be any direction. All the planets orbit the sun, so it movies.

no
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.

Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets
Gravity
The planets revolve (orbit) in an anticlockwise direction when observed from a point high above the Earth's north pole.
No. The planets orbit the Sun and the Sun orbits itself.
Yes, all of the planets in out solar system orbit the sun counterclockwise (anticlockwise) when viewed from above the north pole looking 'down'. Not all of them rotate counterclockwise on their axis though, the two exceptions are Venus and Uranus.
