I’m surmising that what you mean is, if you headed towards Polaris far enough to get perspective on the entire solar system, then from that vantage point the orbits are counterclockwise?
If the orbital plane was a surface of water and the northern hemisphere is bobbing above the water, then up is perpendicular to the plane (away from the water, looking down on the top of Earth).
Made me feel like a fool, especially given I made my at-the-time pregnant partner crease her nose in not-quite-credulous but also sorta-believing suspicion when I told her that the Japanese don't see a Man in the Moon, rather a Rabbit, because on that side of the Earth they see the opposite side of the moon. I could only maintain the pretense for a few minutes before she scolded me :)
And I got lost on a car trip, thinking the midday Sun was in the south. Good thing I was a back-seat passenger.
