counter-clockwise It sounds as if you might be asking: How often are the hands of a clock pointing in opposite directions (at exactly 180 degrees)? If that is the question, the answer is: Over the course of a 24 hour day, it will happen 22 times. The reason it's not 24: It happens, usually, once after every hour. But, after 5, the next occurance is right at 6. Then, the next occurance is after 7. So you don't have 3 separate occurances after 5, after 6, and after 7. If this isn't what you meant, it was fun answering anyway.
Counterclockwise or anti-clockwise direction is the opposite direction to the movement of the hands of a clock.

It's generally assumed that the direction clock hands move is derived from the movement of the shadow around a sundial. In the southern hemisphere, that movement is opposite from that of the northern hemisphere. If clockmaking had developed in Australia so that they became dominant in that craft, it is likely that clocks would be running in the opposite direction.

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.
Clockwise is the direction that follows the movement of the hands on a clock. In terms of arrows, it would be a direction that goes from the top to the right, then down, and finally to the left.
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.
