What else can I help you with?
Do inferior planets orbit the sun clockwise?
NO. They orbit counterclockwise (anticlockwise) when viewed from above the Earth's north pole, which is the usual convention. (Mercury and Venus are called the "inferior planets" because their orbits are between the Sun and the Earth.)
Do all 8 planets orbit the sun counter-clockwise?
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.
Why don't planets have orbit?
All planets orbit around a sun.
What do all the planets orbit around?
All the planets in OUR solar system orbit around the sun(which is a star). Planets in other solar systems orbit around other stars.
What is the shape of a planets orbit and in which direction do all planets revolve?
Planets orbit in an elliptical shape around the Sun, with the Sun located at one of the foci of the ellipse. All planets in our solar system revolve counterclockwise when viewed from above the Sun's north pole.

What is the rotational and revolutionary direction of the planets?
Planets in our solar system rotate counterclockwise on their axes, except for Venus and Uranus which rotate clockwise. All planets orbit the Sun counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole of the solar system, except for Venus and Uranus which orbit clockwise.
Do planets move around the sun in the opposite direction then the sun turns?
No, planets in our solar system all orbit the Sun in the same counterclockwise direction as the Sun rotates on its axis.
All comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets?
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.
Is all planets orbit around the sun?
All planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun.
Why don't planets have orbit?
All planets orbit around a sun.
What do all the planets orbit around?
All the planets in OUR solar system orbit around the sun(which is a star). Planets in other solar systems orbit around other stars.
What diriction do planets orbit around the sun?
That depends from what direction you look.As seen from the north - the way it is usually depicted - all planets move clockwise around the Sun.Of course, if you observe from the south, the planets would move counterclockwise around the Sun.
What is the shape of a planets orbit and in which direction do all planets revolve?
Planets orbit in an elliptical shape around the Sun, with the Sun located at one of the foci of the ellipse. All planets in our solar system revolve counterclockwise when viewed from above the Sun's north pole.
What is the direction of Mars' revolution around the Sun?
Seen from a vantage point over the "north pole" of the Sun, all the planets in our solar system orbit in an anti-clockwise direction.
Do all planets orbit around their self?
All planets orbit around the greatest centre of mass. In our solar system, that is our Sun.
