Look at .... Hmmm. I was about to say a "clock", but then I look at my own desk and every clock is digital! With an analog clock, the hands move in a "clock-wise" direction, so counterclockwise is the opposite way.
Make a fist with your right hand, and stick your thumb up. Look straight at your thumb. Your fingers curl around in a counter-clockwise direction.

What kind of front spins counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere?
occluded
What is the proper name for a high pressure system that spins clockwise?
A high-pressure system that spins clockwise is called an anticyclone. They spin clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere.
Does earth moves from east to west?
The Earth spins counterclockwise so no, it spins from west to east. Counter clockwise if you are standing on the north pole. Clockwise if you stand on the south pole. Either way it spins from west to east.
What is the difference between a hurricane in Australia and a hurricane in Florida?
The main difference is that a hurricane that hits Florida spins counterclockwise while a hurricane that hits Australia (called a cyclone in that part of the world) spins clockwise.
Does Saturn spin clockwise or counter clockwise?
Jupiter spins counter clockwise. To be exact, it spins counterclockwise when viewed from above the north pole. That's the same direction of spin as most of the planets, including Earth.

What way does hurricane spin?
The hurricane spins counterclockwise due to the Coriolis force In the north if Canada was in the south it would spin clockwise. this happens because as the earth spins it veers the winds in the north west and in the south east

Is there a name for tornadoes that starts with ''a''?
No. Tornadoes do not have names; hurricanes do. One term relating to tornadoes that starts with 'a' is anticyclonic. An anticyclonic tornado is one that spins in the opposite direction from what is normal. That is, it spins clockwise if it is in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise if it is in the southern hemisphere.
A planet that appears to spin counterclockwise when viewed from its north pole has a?
This is the definition of prograde rotation. In the solar system, a rotating body seen from its North Pole will appear to be spinning counterclockwise. This is different then retrograde rotation in which a body spins in the opposite direction.
How many eyes does a cyclone have?
It has 1 eye. A cyclone is a swirling air mass generated by heat while over tropical waters. The convection spins it counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere it spins clockwise. But it only has 1 eye.
