The probability that all planets in a given solar system orbit in the same direction is quite high. This is because the formation of planets from a rotating disk of gas and dust tends to align their orbits in the same direction. Additionally, gravitational interactions between planets over time tend to reinforce this alignment. However, there are some exceptions where planets have been observed to have retrograde (opposite) orbits.
The answer depends upon how the planets formed. If they formed via condensation of material within a disk already orbiting our nascent sun, the probability they would orbit the same direction would be close to 100%. If instead the planets were somehow captured interstellar wanderers (highly unlikely), their orbits could be any direction.
Gravity
The normal orbit of planets and moons is in the same direction as the spin of the parent body. The particular norm in our solar system is counter-clockwise. Planets or moons that orbit in the reverse direction (clockwise) are termed retrograde. Confusingly, the same term (retrograde rotation) is used to mean clockwise spin or rotation.
Mercury and Jupiter.
No. Planets cannot share the same orbit. If they did, they would collide.
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 do not orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets. Some comets orbit in a clockwise direction, while others orbit in a counterclockwise direction.
All of the planets in our solar system orbit the sun in the same direction.
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.
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, while the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are the same in that they are spherical, the orbit the Sun in the same direction and they have an elliptical orbit.
no
Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets
Gravity
All the planets discovered up to this date moves in same direction except uranus and venus.

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.
Most moons orbit their planet the same way the planet rotates. One of Neptune's moons is very different. That moon goes in the opposite direction of Neptune's rotation.
1). They orbit in the same around the sun, and as the sun. 2). Orbits of planets and their larger moons are in just about the same plane. 3). Almost all planets and moons rotate on their axes in the same direction as the planets orbit the sun.
