All planets in our solar system, along with most particles and debris, rotate around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above the Sun's north pole. This motion aligns with the direction of the Sun's own rotation and is a result of the solar system's formation from a rotating disk of gas and dust. The orbits of the planets are also generally elliptical rather than circular.

Is the moon and sun a planet?

Neither the Sun nor the Moon are planets. Planets rotate around the Sun. Moons rotate around planets. There are other rules to explain the difference between planets and asteroids and comets which also rotate around the sun. Such as planets because of their strong gravitational field, clear objects in their rotation around the Sun, something a small asteroid, nor a small comet can do. However, neither the Sun (which planets rotate around), nor, the Moon (which rotates around the planet Earth), is a planet.


Does the sun rotate around all planets?

NO!!!! 7 This was thought of by the 'Ancients' (more than 2000 years ago). They thought the Earth was the centre of the universe. However, Copernicus and Galilieo showed it to be a helio-centric system(Sun centred (Solar System). So all the planets , Earth included , orbit (NOT rotate) or revolve around the Sun. Of themselves the Sun and all the planets rotate on their own axes, to give them 'night and day'.


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
