Counter clockwise refers to the direction opposite to the rotation of a clock's hands. It is a way of describing the direction of movement or rotation in a circular or spherical system, where instead of progressing in the usual clockwise direction, it goes in the opposite direction.
The term is counter clockwise.
in the opposite direction to the way in which the hands of a clock move around.
Same as counterclockwise. It means a rotation is in the direction opposite to the movement of the hands of a clock.
Turning something 'clockwise' would be turning it in the direction the hands on a clock turns. 'Counter-clockwise' would be turning it the opposite direction of a clock. I always remember anti-clockwise from clockwise, by which way a clock turns for clockwise, and the opposite way of a clock turning for anti-clockwise.
That means that if you observe from the north, it would rotate counterclockwise - the direction opposite of the rotation of a clock's hands.
for eg if you want to stir a cup of tea and stir it towards right its is clock wise as it is moving in the direction of the clock (i.e. 12,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11). If you do it the opposite way it is anti-clockwise.
Referring to the direction of rotation, a clockwise direction indicates rotation in the same direction as the hands move on the face of a clock. Counterclockwise rotation is in the opposite direction.
it refers to the way in which things move. clockwise means the direction that the hands on a clock turn. counter clockwise means the opposite way the hands turn on a clock
counterclockwise has 16 letters is the word.
All of the hands of a normal analog clock move in the "clockwise" direction.
