The Earth rotates in an anticlockwise (counterclockwise) direction when viewed from above the north pole.
The Earth rotates counterclockwise (anticlockwise) if looked 'down' from above, from over the north pole.
Every point on Earth rotates from west to east (except the poles,
since there's no east or west at them).

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 the earth rotate when viewed from south pole?
Clockwise .
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
Will the earth ever rotate counter to its present direction?
It may be possible if we create the technology sometime in the future. Otherwise, no it will not.
Does mars rotate the same way as earth?
The rotation of Mars is very similar to the rotation of earth. Its axial tilt, the length of its day, and the direction of its rotation are all very similar to those of 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.
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.
