The story of why planets rotate around the sun starts back at the start of the solar system. As the clouds of gas, dust and cosmic debris. When cosmic gas cloud collapsed into proto-stars and galaxies portion of the material became an accretion disc around the stars-to-be. The physics of this collapse is that the material falling into the gravitational attractor does not fall straight in, but spirals in. Further physics makes it spiral in a flat disc around the star. This is due to the conservation of orbital angular momentum.
Most of the material becomes "star" but a small percentage becomes "planets" (made from smaller whirlpools of dust). The planets continue to spin around the star in the same way that the original accretion disc spun.

By definition, planets are the things that revolve around a star when they are formed.

Does the earth and other planets revolve around the sun?
yes, the earth and other planets revolve around the sun
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
Why do the planets stay in there orbits as they revolve around the sun?
because of the gravity the sun has and also the planets have gravity turning around the sun
Does all the planets revolve around the earth?
No. All planets orbit the Sun.
Do all planets revolve in the same direction?
Yes. All planets revolve around the Sun in an counter-clockwise direction, as viewed from the celestial north pole.
What large objects revolve around the sun?
Planets revolve around the sun.
Does the earth and other planets revolve around the sun?
yes, the earth and other planets revolve around the sun
What two planets revolve around the sun other than Pluto?
All planets revolve around the Sun.
Do the planets revolve around the earth?
No all planets revolve around the nearest star. In our case, the sun.
Does sun revolve around any planet?
no, all the planets revolve AROUND the sun.
Who stated that planets revolve around the sun in an ellipse?
Johannes Kepler stated that the planets revolve around the sun in an ellipse.
Why do planets revolve around the sun if there is no friction or gravity?
The planets revolve around the sun because of the sun's gravitational pull. The larger the object is the more gravitational pull it has therefore the planets revolve around the sun and the moon revolves around the Earth.
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
What do the planets do around the sun?
They revolve.
