mike1942 is right
and NO PLANET revolves retrograde, they might SPIN retrograde, but that is a different story
"Retrograde orbits
In the Solar system, most bodies orbit in a similar (direct) direction to the rotation of the Sun. All planets and most smaller bodies orbit the Sun counterclockwise as seen from a position above the Sun's north pole. The exceptions are mostly long-period and nonperiodic comets, which can have any inclination"

It is assumed that they all developed out of the dust cloud surrounding the sun and thus all share in the same angular momentum as far as direction is concerned. Notice that they are all in the same plane also.

accually one of the planets does not move in the same direction as the other planets do this is because of the polarity of the sun but the polarity of the sun is determined by the mass of the planet itself and the distance away from the sun

They dont all move in the same direction.
Some move retrograde, and some move prograde.
