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.

How is the earth is rotating whether in clockwise or anticlockwise?

It depends on where are you standing, over the North pole, or over (or should I say under) the South pole. If you are at the north pole, the Earth appears to spin counter clockwise and at the south pole, clockwise. If you view the Earth from space, with the north pole up and the south pole down, it will spin moving left to right at the equator.

What direct does the earth spin?

east to west < wrong! the sun rises in the East and sets in the West because the earth spins the opposite way. Think about it. Well the earth spins counter-clockwise, so the sun will rise in the East and set in the West because of the rotation its spinning in.


Why does sun rises from the east?

The sun rises in the east due to the stationary position of the sun, and the relative position of the Earth. If the Earth's axis is considered up, then, when looking down at the North Pole, the Earth is spinning counter-clockwise.
