It depends on which angle you veiw the sun from. It can be counterclockwise or clockwise. Remember in space motion is relative to another object. Assuming you look at the earth from the sun, the earth is moving. If you look at the earth from the moon the earth will seem like its just rotating in place.
But in general the earth is NOT moving in any particular direction.
