Almost all objects in our solar system, including planets, asteroids, and satellites, orbit the Sun and rotate counterclockwise on their axes. This uniform motion suggests their formation from a rotating planetary disk around the Sun, where conservation of angular momentum caused objects closer to the Sun to orbit faster, influencing the planets to rotate in the same direction as their orbits.
Unlike other planets in our solar system, Venus rotates clockwise, and Uranus rotates ambiguously due to its extreme axial tilt. Furthermore, six planetary satellites exhibit retrograde motion, likely due to being captured asteroids. This directional consistency supports the theory that the solar system formed from a rotating disk.
