[QUOTE="Frumious Bandersnatch, post: 809317, member: 7449"] All planets do orbit the sun in the same direction. Venus and Neptune have clockwise rather than counter clockwise rotations. [url]http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrograde_orbit[/url] In standard science this is thought to be the result of collisions during planet formation. Neptune is drastically tipped on its axis and venus rotates very slowly. Regarding Neptune, if you take a ball and start it spinning counter clockwise and the tip it over you will find that it is spinning clockwise. As Jet Black has pointed out it is only total angular momentum that is conserved and then only in perfectly elastic collisions. Collisions be objects can easily change the direction of spin of one of the objects. Did you ever play pool? The Frumious Bandersnatch [/QUOTE]
