Provided the rotational speed was the same as it is now, the length of of the day would not change at all. Unfortunately though, there would not be any of us around that would survive such a shift. Too bad, it would really be nice to see the sun rise in the west and set in the east after the change.

Why is your solar system a counter clockwise system?
Since the sun rotates counter clockwise the planets also revolve counter clockwise.
Where do member of solar system?
counter clockwise
How do sun spots and solar flares show evidence for climate change?
They don't. Climate change occurs on the Earth. Sun spots and solar flares occur on the Sun. The Sun heating up could cause a climate change on the Earth, but sunspots and solar flares don't really have much to do with that.
What direction do the earth and moon orbit?
If you stood at the north pole and jumped up to look down on our solar system, the earth would be orbiting counter-clockwise, as well as spinning counter-clockwise. The moon would also be orbiting counter-clockwise, as well as spinning counter-clockwise at 1 revolution per orbit. The Earth then rotates 366.25 times per year approximately, which makes for 365.25 days since one is taken up by orbiting the sun.
What is the planet in your solar system that rotates clockwise?
Both Venus and Uranus have clockwise, i.e. retrograde, rotation.
Does earth spin counter clockwise?
Almost all of the material that formed the Solar system revolved around the Sun in one direction. This represents the conservation of angular momentum when the material contracted to form the Sun and its planetary disk. Since then, collisions and localized gravity have created exceptions to the general counter-clockwise rule (Venus spins slowly clockwise on its axis). The Earth rotates (spins) on its axis counter-clockwise, and orbits the Sun counter-clockwise as well, as viewed from the North Pole of the Earth or Sun. These are arbitrary concepts of "above" and "below" the plane of the Solar System. The Moon also revolves around the Earth counter-clockwise.

What is special about nicholis coperrnicus?
Copernicus was the first to propose that the Earth was NOT the center of the solar system but the Sun was, and the Earth and plantes rotated around it. This idea was in direct opposition to prevailing beliefs at the time.
What planet orbits the other way then earth?
All the planets in the solar system orbit in the same direction, counter-clockwise.
How do you use retrograde in a sentence?
retrograde is when a solar system object rotates clockwise while almost all other objects rotate counter-clockwise. "Venus' motion is retrograde in relation to the Earth's"
When viewed from the north pole the earth rotates on its axis from?
Counter-clockwise, from right to left. Almost everything in our solar system spins that way.
Where do member of solar system?
counter clockwise
Climate change on earth is thought to be affected by what solar phenomena?
Sunspots
How do sun spots and solar flares show evidence for climate change?
They don't. Climate change occurs on the Earth. Sun spots and solar flares occur on the Sun. The Sun heating up could cause a climate change on the Earth, but sunspots and solar flares don't really have much to do with that.
How does the rotation of Venus' differs from that of Earth?
Venus is the only planet in our solar system that rotates clockwise. It also rotates very, very slowly - taking 243 earth days to rotate once.
Does the Earth spin on its axis in the same or opposite direction as the sun orbit?
All but one planet in our solar-system spins clockwise, that is venus. All other spins counter-clockwise or cyclonically. The Sun also spins Cyclonically, so the Earth spins in the same direction as the Sun.
