It has to do with the formation of the solar system. Since all of the matter that condensed into what makes the solar system bodies was spinning in the same direction while coming together, it would have taken a drastic event to cause one of the bodies to orbit in a different direction.
What else can I help you with?
Why do all planets orbit around the Sun in the same major direction?
Gravity
What two planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction that they orbit the Sun?
Mercury and Jupiter.
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.
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.
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.
All comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets?
False. While most comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets (counterclockwise when viewed from above Earth's North Pole), there are exceptions. Some comets have retrograde orbits, meaning they orbit in the opposite direction of the planets.
Do All planets in your solar system orbit the sun in the same direction?
no
Do planets move around the sun in the opposite direction then the sun turns?
No, planets in our solar system all orbit the Sun in the same counterclockwise direction as the Sun rotates on its axis.
Why do all planets orbit around the Sun in the same major direction?
Gravity
Do most asteroids orbit in the same direction as planets?
Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets
What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?
In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.
Do comets orbit the sun in the same direction?
The orbits of comets are much more irregular than those of planets. Probably the majority do orbit in the same direction, but it's not a sure thing.
Do all the planets in the solar system rotate in the same direction as they orbit the sun?
Yes. All the planets orbit the sun in the same direction. Although, they do not orbit at the same speed, they all orbit in the same direction. The terrestrials (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) orbit at a much faster rate due to their distance from the sun. The Jovians (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) circle the sun much slower because they are much further away.
Do planets orbit the sun in a circular direction?
No. Planets orbit the Sun (or some other star) in ellipses.
What planets do not orbit around the sun in the same direction?
So far, all the planets discovered orbiting THIS star orbit in the same direction; counter-clockwise as seen from high above the north pole. We expect that all planets in a particular solar system are likely to orbit in the same direction.
What two planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction that they orbit the Sun?
Mercury and Jupiter.
Do all the planets orbit in the same direction?
Most planets in our solar system orbit the Sun in the same direction, counterclockwise when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole. However, Venus and Uranus are exceptions as they have retrograde or backward orbits.
