(b) All planetary orbits lie nearly in the same plane. (c) Almost all planets travel on nearly circular orbits. (d) The spacing between planetary orbits increases with distance from the Sun. (e) Most planets orbit in the same direction in which they rotate, counterclockwise. (f) Almost all moons orbit their planet in the same direction as the planet's rotation and near the planet's equatorial plane. (g) The Sun rotates in the same direction in which the planets orbit. |
