Best Answer

Every point on Earth rotates from west to east.

If you hang suspended over the north pole looking down at it,

you see the Earth rotating counterclockwise (from right to left).

If you hang suspended over the south pole looking down at it,

you see the Earth rotating clockwise (from left to right).
