the direction of the earths rotation is right
The direction of the earth's rotation is East. There are many other answers depending on the position and orientation of the observer relative to the earth. For example, if the observer is facing the globe from a position above the north pole, the rotation appears to be counter-clockwise. If the observer is facing the globe from a position above the south pole, the rotation appears to be clockwise. If the observer is facing the globe from a position above the equator, the rotation appears to be to the right if the observer is oriented so that North is "up" and south is "down". However, if the observer is "upside down"(a northern hemisphere bias), the rotation appears to be to the left.

∙ 14y agoDirection of rotation of earth is west to east.if you are not able to understand, west and east. you can take help through geographic north & south poles.

Wiki User
∙ 14y agoSeen from high above the north pole, the Earth rotates in a counter-clockwise direction. Most things that rotate in our solar system rotate in a counter-clockwise direction.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoLooked at from above the north pole, it rotates anticlockwise. That is known because the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

What direction does Callisto rotate on its axis?
same as earth
What planets rotate?
All planets in the solar system rotate, but not all in the same direction, Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune all rotate in one direction, while Venus, Uranus, and the dwarf planet Pluto rotate in the opposite direction.
In which direction does the moon rotate around Earth?
The moon revolves from west to east, completing an entire revolution in 27.32 days.
Direction planets rotate?
In our solar system, most planets rotate counter-clockwise as seen looking down on their north poles (north poles as defined by the International Astronomical Union). They all orbit the Sun in this same direction. On Earth this is noticeable in the direction the Sun moves through the daytime sky. As the Earth rotates on its axis, the Sun seems to rise in the east and set in the west. Venus is a notable exception. It rotates in the opposite, clockwise, direction. Uranus is titled "sideways", with its axis almost in line with its orbital plane. However it does rotate in the same direction as Venus, just about.
What direction do the planets rotate?
Most of the planets in our solar system rotate on their axis from west to east; i.e., counter-clockwise as seen by an observer looking down from high above the Earth's north pole. Hence an observer near the equator of the earth, for example, would see the sun rise in the east, and later set in the west. This is the same direction in which they orbit the sun. The exceptions are Venus which rotates the opposite direction, and Uranus which rotates almost "on its side" (axis tilt of about 90 degrees).
Why does the Earth rotate in single direction?
Once an object, any object, such as the Earth, is set in motion to rotate in a particular direction, it will always continue to rotate in that direction. For the Earth to rotate in another direction would take an enormous, cataclysmic force that would have to be created by a gigantic object colliding with it, or at least coming very close to it.
What direction does planet earth rotate?
west to east
What direction does Callisto rotate on its axis?
same as earth
Does the earth rotate in more than one direction at once?
no
What direction does the earth rotate when viewed from south pole?
Clockwise .
In what directions do earth rotate?
The earth only rotates in one direction. It rotates clockwise.
What is the direction of the earth's spin?
When looking from the north of earth it seems to rotate counter-clockwise.
In which direction does the earth rotate looking up at the north pole?
in counter-clock wise direction
What planets rotate?
All planets in the solar system rotate, but not all in the same direction, Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune all rotate in one direction, while Venus, Uranus, and the dwarf planet Pluto rotate in the opposite direction.
Which way does the earth rotate and why?
counter-clockwise. All the the objects in the solar system orbit in that direction and almost all of them rotate in that direction. This due to the conservation of angular momentum.
Which cardinal direction does the earth rotate?
The Earth rotates towards the east. As viewed from the North Star, Polaris, the Earth turns anti clockwise
What will happen if the earth starts to rotate and revolve in the opposite direction?
The season progression would reverse.
