Compartive Planetology I: Our Solar. System
... If you could observe the solar system from a point several as tronomical units IAU above Earth’s north pole, you would see that all the planets orbit the Sun in the same counterclockwise di rection. Furthermore, the orbits of the eight planets all lie in nearly the same plane. In other words, these ...
