Answer: If you view the solar system from high above Earth's north pole, the following statement about planetary orbits will be true:

  • The planets will appear to be orbiting counterclockwise around the Sun.

This is because the planets in our solar system all orbit the Sun in the same direction, which is counterclockwise as viewed from above the Sun's north pole. This means that if you are looking down on the solar system from above Earth's north pole, you would see the planets all moving counterclockwise in their orbits around the Sun.
