Direction is the solar system rotating and revolving?

If you looked from the "top" it would be clockwise, but then if you looked from the bottom it would be counter-clockwise (anti-clockwise). Since there is no "top" or "bottom", there is no direction except "around".


Does earth spin counter clockwise?

Almost all of the material that formed the Solar system revolved around the Sun in one direction. This represents the conservation of angular momentum when the material contracted to form the Sun and its planetary disk. Since then, collisions and localized gravity have created exceptions to the general counter-clockwise rule (Venus spins slowly clockwise on its axis). The Earth rotates (spins) on its axis counter-clockwise, and orbits the Sun counter-clockwise as well, as viewed from the North Pole of the Earth or Sun. These are arbitrary concepts of "above" and "below" the plane of the Solar System. The Moon also revolves around the Earth counter-clockwise.

Does Saturn spin clockwise or counter clockwise?

Jupiter spins counter clockwise. To be exact, it spins counterclockwise when viewed from above the north pole. That's the same direction of spin as most of the planets, including Earth.


Does Mars rotate clockwise or counter clockwise?

Mars rotates on its axis in the same direction as Earth, which is counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This means that if you were standing on Mars's surface, the Sun would rise in the east and set in the west, similar to how it appears on Earth.
