What else can I help you with?
What planets are called inferior planets?
Mercury and Venus, because their orbits are closer to the Sun than Earth' orbit is.
Do all planets orbit counterclockwise around the sun?
All of the planets in our solar system orbit the sun in the same direction, but at varying speeds depending on distance from the sun. If looked at from above the earths north pole, they would go counter clockwise.
What direction do the planets move using the sun as a refrence point?
The planets orbit the sun in an anti-clockwise fashion if we were to view the solar system from over the north pole of the sun.
Do all orbiting celestial bodies have a clockwise orbit and rotation upon their own axis likewise?
Both Venus and Uranus rotate counter-clockwise while still orbiting the sun clockwise. Which ones are clockwise and which are counter-clockwise depends upon whether you are looking looking at the sun, and planets, from the north or south pole.
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.
Position of inferior plant between earth and sun?
There are two inferior planets. One is venus-or sister planet-and the other in mercury. These two are inferior planets because their orbit is inside of the earths orbit. best time to see these planets is when they are their furthest from the sun. :)
Do asteroides orbit the same directions as the planets?
Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets
Do most asteroids orbit in the same direction as planets?
Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets

Do all planets orbit counterclockwise around the sun?
All of the planets in our solar system orbit the sun in the same direction, but at varying speeds depending on distance from the sun. If looked at from above the earths north pole, they would go counter clockwise.
How do the planets orbit around the planet?
Planets orbit the sun in a counter clockwise motion, due to the balance between the Sun's gravity and the gravity of each individual planet.
Do the planets orbit the sun counterclockwise?
There being no up or down in space, there is no clockwise or anticlockwise either.
Is mercury an inferior or superior planet?
Yes. The inferior planets not only move faster, but also have a smaller path, to go once around the Sun. So, both of these factors contribute for the interior planets to take less time to go once around the Sun.
What direction do the planets move using the sun as a refrence point?
The planets orbit the sun in an anti-clockwise fashion if we were to view the solar system from over the north pole of the sun.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
Which planets can never pass through inferior conjunction?
The planets that are further from the Sun than Earth is, can never be in inferior conjunction with Earth. So they would be Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Pluto and Ceres, are dwarf planets, but can't be in inferior conjunction with us either. Only Venus and Mercury can be.
