What evidence is there to prove earth rotates counter clockwise?
We know that the Earth rotates west to east (causing the sun to rise in the east and set in the west). And if you look down at the earth from the North pole, it will be rotating counter clockwise. if you look up at the earth from the south pole, then the earth will be rotating clockwise.
What is the imaginary line drawn throughout the earth from the North to the South pole?
The Equator,assigned at zero degree latitude.
Which way does earth rotate?
If you "stand" above the North Pole and look down it will appear to turn anti-clockwise. Looking at it from above the equator, it appears to turn from left to right.If you were hanging up above the north pole, looking down at the earth, you would seethe earth spinning counterclockwise, right to left, west to east.
What are the celestial poles?
The north and south celestial poles are the two imaginary points in the sky where the Earth's axis of rotation, indefinitely extended, intersects the imaginary rotating sphere of stars called the celestial sphere. The north and south celestial poles appear permanently directly overhead to an observer at the Earth's North pole and South pole respectively. As the Earth spins on its axis, the two celestial poles remain fixed in the sky, and all other points appear to rotate around them, completing one circuit per day.

Why isn't the world a perfect sphere?
The earth is not a perfect sphere because it is flatened somewhat at the north pole and south pole.
Why do photos from space show the earth as a perfect sphere?
Earth is not a perfect sphere; it is slightly wider across the equator than it is from pole to pole, but that difference is less than a percent of Earth's average diameter, too small for the human eye to notice.
The place where the extended axis of the Earth would touch the celestial sphere is called the celestial?
Pole
Where is the celetial pole?
either of the two points in the celestial sphere where the earth's axis, if extended, would intersect
This is a riddle prove a triangle that has 3 90 degree angles and equal distance between angles?
It is a non-planar triangle. Eg on the surface of a sphere, from a "pole" to the "equator", a quarter of the way around the "equator" and back to the "pole". The earth is not quite right because it is not spherical, so you would not have equal distances between the angles.
How is the earth is rotating whether in clockwise or anticlockwise?
It depends on where are you standing, over the North pole, or over (or should I say under) the South pole. If you are at the north pole, the Earth appears to spin counter clockwise and at the south pole, clockwise. If you view the Earth from space, with the north pole up and the south pole down, it will spin moving left to right at the equator.
What direction does the earth go clockwise or counterclock wise?
it is completely subjective. looking down on the north pole, counterclockwise. looking down on the south pole clockwise
What the word equation mean?
The great circle of the Earth that is equidistant from the North and South Pole. It divides a sphere into two equal symmetrical parts
What evidence is there to prove earth rotates counter clockwise?
We know that the Earth rotates west to east (causing the sun to rise in the east and set in the west). And if you look down at the earth from the North pole, it will be rotating counter clockwise. if you look up at the earth from the south pole, then the earth will be rotating clockwise.
What is the extreme north or south point of the Earth's axis called?
i don't know, i was looking up this question myself. sorry if this is no help, the same thing happened to me yesterday, but i just wanted to say HI!! and do you like cheesecake because I LOVE CHEESECAKE?! ok, bye now
