it's just random _____________________ It is not likely to be random. First, that would mean that only one [on average] in every 256 solar systems similar to ours and with 8 planets would all planets revolve (orbit) in the same direction [2 to the power 8]. More important, according to current understanding, all the planets formed from a huge 'accretion disk' of materials orbiting around the sun. It would be hard to explain that some regions of such a disk could be orbiting one way, and other sections orbiting in another. It is much more likely that the planets are continuing the original pattern of the materials in the accretion disk.

Does neptune orbits a sun in opposite direction of all other planets?
While Neptune's orbit is on a different plane compared to most other planets, its direction of revolution around the sun is the same as the majority of the planets in our solar system.
How would you define revolution of Planets in the solar system?
The revolution of planets in the solar system refers to the motion of a planet in its orbit around the Sun. Each planet follows an elliptical path with the Sun at one of the foci. The time it takes for a planet to complete one revolution is known as its orbital period.
Does Venus have a retrograde revolution?
Prograde. In our solar system, prograde is counterclockwise rotation or revolution. Retrograde is clockwise rotation or revolution.Clockwise and counterclockwise are "as viewed from above the Earth's north pole".All solar system planets have a prograde rotation except Venus and Uranus which have retrograde rotation.All the planets have prograde orbital motion (revolution) around the Sun.So, Mercury has prograde motion in both cases.

Which of these planets are considered to have a short revolution?
mercury
What is so special about Venus Rotation and Revolution?
It rotates in the opposite direction the other planets rotate.
What planet has a retrograde revolution?
Retrograde refers to a planetary movement in which specific planets turn in a different direction than others. Planets with retrograde movements are Uranus and Venus.
Does neptune orbits a sun in opposite direction of all other planets?

What is the direction of revolution of the planets in our solar system?
The planets revolve (orbit) in an anticlockwise direction when observed from a point high above the Earth'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.

What is revolution's importance to the planets?
It has something to do with the planets' temperature and climate.
How is the revolution of the moon different from the revolution of planets?
The planets revolve around the sun. The moon revolves around Earth.
What two factors affect a planets revolution?
Two factors that affect a planets revolution are distance from the sun and size.
Does Venus have a retrograde revolution?

Retrograde is clockwise rotation or revolution.Clockwise and counterclockwise are "as viewed from above the Earth's north pole".All solar system planets have a prograde rotation except Venus and Uranus which have retrograde rotation.All the planets have prograde orbital motion (revolution) around the Sun.So, Mercury has prograde motion in both cases.

Do planets all orbit around the sun in the same direction because planets gravitational force on each other?
No. The reason they orbit in the same direction must be because of the formation history of the Solar System. The Solar System arose from a collapsing gas cloud, some 4.6 billion years ago; this gas cloud must have had a small rotation in a certain direction, and this rotation got amplified by the collapse. The planets and asteroids then simply maintained the angular momentum of the gas cloud which they formed from - as well as the Sun, which rotates in the same direction.
