Which way does the earth move clockwise or anticlockwise?
The Earth rotates counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This counterclockwise rotation is also known as west to east.
What direction does the Earth rotate?
The Earth rotates in an anticlockwise (counterclockwise) direction when viewed from above the north pole.The Earth rotates counterclockwise (anticlockwise) if looked 'down' from above, from over the north pole.Every point on Earth rotates from west to east (except the poles,since there's no east or west at them).
How does earth revolve?
The Earth revolves from West to East. Another way to put it is that the Earth rotates counterclockwise (also called anticlockwise) when viewed from above the North Pole.
How does the earth rotates in clockwise or anticlockwise?
The Earth rotates counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This rotation direction has been established due to the initial angular momentum of the solar system during its formation. The rotation of the Earth is responsible for the day and night cycle.
Where is the position of the earth sun in January if the earth rotated anti clockwise?
The Earth normally rotates anticlockwise as seen from the north. If you mean 'if the Earth rotates the opposite way', then its position in January (relative to the Sun) could be the same. The four seasons would also be roughly the same.
Is the sun in retrograde rotation?
No, The sun rotates in the same direction as the earth and most of the other planets - anticlockwise when viewed from above the north pole.
Does the earth turn right to left?
yes it does go right because it is anticlockwise
What is the direction of the orbit of the earth?
If viewed from "above", from where you could see the earth's north pole and from where you would always see each planet half illuminated by the sun, all of the planets in our solar system revolve counterclockwise (anticlockwise).
What do the earth rotates on what?
Earth rotates on its axis.
What is mercury rotation direction?
Mercury rotates on its axis in a retrograde direction, meaning it rotates in the opposite direction of its orbit around the Sun. This retrograde rotation is unique compared to most other planets in our solar system.
Does the moon rotate right or left?
The moon rotates in the same direction as the earth, counterclockwise (anticlockwise) when viewed from above the north pole. One rotation of the moon takes the same time as one revolution around the earth, so the same side of the moon is always facing the earth.
Do planets rotate clock wise around the sun?
Unfortunately the second answer below is about the Earth's rotation. The question is about orbits, but should really use the word "revolve". All the planets revolve around the Sun in a counterclockwise (anticlockwise) direction, when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole. Usually we just say "counterclockwise" (the viewpoint is understood to be from above the North Pole.) So, the answer to the question is: "No, they revolve counterclockwise." Second Answer: A point on the Earth's surface always rotates towards the east. Looked at from a very long distance above the South Pole the planets rotate clockwise. But looked at from above the North Pole they all rotate anticlockwise. Take your pick. Technically there is a convention in mathematical axes that says a right-hand threaded screw lying along an axis moves in the direction of the positive axis when it is rotated anticlockwise. Using that idea, a positive rotation is anticlockwise seen from the far-off positive end of the axis. Using that convention the Earth rotates anticlockwise (a positive rotation) seen from along the northwards axis
