* Counter-Clockwise Motion: All planets would appear to orbit the Sun in a counter-clockwise direction. This is because the planets in our solar system orbit the Sun in the same direction as the Sun rotates, which is counter-clockwise when viewed from above the north pole.
* Planar Orbits: The orbits would appear mostly flat, like a slightly tilted disc. While the planets' orbits are not perfectly flat, they are all relatively close to the plane of Earth's orbit, known as the ecliptic plane.
* Different Orbital Speeds: Planets closer to the Sun, like Mercury and Venus, would appear to move faster than those farther out, like Jupiter and Saturn. This is due to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, which state that planets closer to the Sun have a faster orbital speed.
* Orbital Eccentricity: You'd notice that some planets have more circular orbits than others. For instance, Earth's orbit is relatively circular, while Mars' orbit is more elliptical. This variation in eccentricity affects the speed of a planet as it orbits the Sun.
* Orbital Inclination: While the orbits would appear mostly flat, you might observe slight variations in the tilt of the orbits (orbital inclination) from the ecliptic plane. This inclination is a key factor in determining a planet's seasons.
Important Note: This view is a simplified representation. The orbits of planets are not perfect circles or ellipses, and there are gravitational influences from other planets and even the Sun's own movement within the galaxy that cause subtle changes and perturbations in the orbits over time.
