They don't rotate in the same direction. But most of the rotation comes about from the conservation of angular momentum. Angular momentum is given by L=m*w*r2 where m is the mass, w is the angular velocity in radians per second, and r is the radius of the circular motion. Due to conservation of angular momentum, if the radius of the orbit decreases, then its angular velocity must increase (as the mass is constant). Hope I answered your question...

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
All planets in the solar system rotate, but not all in the same direction, Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune all rotate in one direction, while Venus, Uranus, and the dwarf planet Pluto rotate in the opposite direction.
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.
1). They orbit in the same around the sun, and as the sun. 2). Orbits of planets and their larger moons are in just about the same plane. 3). Almost all planets and moons rotate on their axes in the same direction as the planets orbit the sun.
All the planets discovered up to this date moves in same direction except uranus and venus.
Only some.

All the planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun in the same direction.However, there are two planets that rotate on their axis "backwards" compared with the others. They are Uranus and Venus.
Mercury and Jupiter.
All planets (in our solar system) have the same sun. All the planets rotate around the same sun that Earth rotates around.

I am not sure what you are asking here, So I will try my best at guessing. Why does the earth rotate in the direction and the way it does, and all of the other planets rotate in the direction as well, and all of the planets orbit in the same direction around the star. All orbiting the same way. The milky Way Galaxy spirals again in the same circular orbit direction. I too wondered why does everything spin, rotate, orbit, in the same direction. Like a lot of science, This is only a theory, The theory I find that makes sense to me, is atoms and electrons spin in this way, If this spin conserves momentum, then our solar system, and galaxy, and all other galaxy's in the universe will spin the same. An interesting thought?

They were formed by a nebula that was rotating in that direction.
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."
