How come planets move around in a circle for left to right or whatever? Why not a up and down circle like a target logo? I can explain further. thanks ahead of time.

In space there is no up and down.
Ok the planets move in a circle laying down. How come not a circle standing upright?

If you turn your head 90 degrees it would look like up and down.

If you’re asking why there seems to be a North and South for the solar system and the galaxy in general it’s because the giant clouds of matter that coalesced to make the stars began to spin around the center of mass due to gravity. As more mass was accumulated the spinning became more pronounced as everything “fell into line”

Ok I think i understand. So at 90 degrees the planets do not look like going around? But do they look like they are going over it?
Right.
