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.
