When viewed from ecliptic north, both Venus and Earth orbit the Sun in a counterclockwise direction. This counterclockwise motion is consistent for all planets in our solar system, as they all orbit the Sun in the same direction due to the initial angular momentum of the solar nebula from which they formed.
