Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: The planets of our solar system orbit the Sun in a counterclockwise direction (when viewed from above the Sun’s north pole) because of the way our solar system formed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Every planet in our solar system except for Venus and Uranus rotates counter-clockwise as seen from above the North Pole; that is to say, from west to east. This is the same direction in which all the planets orbit the sun.
Detailed explanation-3: -The planet Venus rotates clockwise. The rotation of Venus on its axis is somewhat unusual. It rotates from east to west (clockwise) while the earth, mars, and mercury rotate from west to east (anticlockwise).
