Within the nine old planets, 3 of them have retrograde rotation: rotate clockwise (westward). They are Venus, Uranus and Pluto.
Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune have direct rotation: rotate anti-clockwise (eastward).
All the nine planets revolve around the sun eastward or anti clockwise.

How many days does it take the sun to rotate around the poles?
it cant cause all the other planets moove around it.
Does the moon rotate around Jupiter?
No, the moon does not rotate around Jupiter. Moons orbit around planets, and Jupiter has many moons that revolve around it.
What are Planets that appear to be spinning clockwise from their north pole called?
Planets that appear to be spinning clockwise from their north pole are called retrograde planets. This is in contrast to the majority of planets in our solar system, which rotate counterclockwise from their north pole.
How many planets rotate around the sun?
There are eight recognised major planets which orbit The Sun. Starting nearest to the Sun and travelling outwards the planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Do planets rotate?
Depends what exactly you mean by "all planets", and by "the sun". The planets we commonly talk about, rotate about our Sun. At least 200 planets are known that rotate around other stars (i.e., other suns). Planetary sized objects are also known that don't go around any star - but by definition, they are no planets, because the standard definition of a planet includes rotating around a star!In 2006 the general assembly of the international astronomical union (IAU) passed a resolution which defined planets within our solar system as celestial bodies that orbit around the Sun, has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes nearly round shapes, and has "cleared the neighborhood around its orbit". This leaves eight planets in our solar system. Pluto is no longer a planet due to the latter requirement (which is because Pluto is part of the Kuiper Belt which also has many other objects orbiting near it).

Does the moon rotate around Jupiter?
No, the moon does not rotate around Jupiter. Moons orbit around planets, and Jupiter has many moons that revolve around it.
How many planets rotate in the opposite direction of the others?
Relative to the orbital plane, only two major planets appear to rotate (spin) in a clockwise direction,Venus and Uranus.Of these two, only Venus has lost its what is assumed to be its original counter-clockwise rotation. Uranus only appears to rotate clockwise, as observed from above the orbital plane, because its North Pole was somehow knocked over by 98° to technically become its South Pole.
How does a planets revolution relate to orbital period?
The planets rotation does not really relate to the orbital period. Some planets like Mercury and Venus and Mars orbit the sun in a short time, but take a long time to rotate on their axis, Earth is the exception, where a collision with the moon many years ago may have caused its days to be a lot shorter than the other rocky planets. Saturn and Jupiter rotate fairly quickly on their axis.
What is a popular question asked about planets?
Lots of questions about planets seem to repeat over and over. What are their names and positions; what's the name of their path in space, which is the hottest and coldest, closest and furthest, what's their size, what's their shape and why, which is the biggest, which have rings, what's their compisition, why do they have the colors they do, how long do they take to rotate and orbit, which spins the fastest, which ones are unusual or rotate strangely, do they glow, do they support life, is Earth the only planet with life, and why; how are they studied, named, identified; how many are there and why isn't Pluto considered a planet.

What are Planets that appear to be spinning clockwise from their north pole called?
Planets that appear to be spinning clockwise from their north pole are called retrograde planets. This is in contrast to the majority of planets in our solar system, which rotate counterclockwise from their north pole.
