Why Clock rotates clockwise direction?
because the other way is anticlockwise
Do Stars move in clockwise or counter clockwise direction?
If you stand at any point in the earth's northern hemisphere, the stars appear to move counterclockwise around the north pole of the sky. If you stand at any point in the earth's southern hemisphere, the stars appear to move clockwise around the south pole of the sky. Both of these appearances are exactly that ... appearance. The stars don't move, at least not fast enough for a human being to perceive their motion over the course of a lifetime. The apparent motion of the stars is due to the rotation of the earth, which continually rotates a person's direction of view.
What direction is counterclockwise left or right?
It rotates from West to East ( counter-clockwise if you are looking down onto the north pole ). We see that the sun rises from East and sets in West. Actually, the sun does not move but the earth rotates in the opposite direction i.e. from west to east , so it appears as if the sun is moving from east to west.
Do toilets flush clockwise?
Toilets to flush clockwise in the north. However, it is not due to the rotation of the earth as many people believe. It is because of the way water is jetted into them.
The earth rotates from east to west on its on axis. is it true?
I'm not sure of what you mean but I think you got it right. Another way to describe it is if you are North of Earth, out in space, looking back, you would see Earth rotate counter-clockwise. If you were out in space from the South side of our planet Earth, you would see the Earth rotate clockwise.
Do the cycle go around the track clockwise or anticlockwise?
what stupid question by the way it is anti clockwise
Why Clock rotates clockwise direction?
because the other way is anticlockwise
What way does the moon spin clockwise or anticlockwise?
Neither , it's rotation is static .
What is the difference between going around Australia anticlockwise and clockwise?
drive normally clockwise but if you drive around anticlockwise you would have to reverse all the way and that would be very slow and annoying lol
What way does the sun travel ins orbit clockwise or anticlockwise?
As viewed from the galactic north, the Sun orbits in a clockwise motion
What is corlolis effect?
It's the Coriolis Effect, not Corlolis- it is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotating reference frame. In a reference frame acting in a clockwise motion, the force acts on motion to the left of the object, whereas in an anticlockwise motion it acts to the right of the object. The effect upon matter that is deflected as a result of this, is known as the Coriolis Effect. It can be seen particularly clearly in the way that wind patterns move across the face of the earth, and move clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere by anticlockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
What way is clockwise?
Clockwise is the direction of rotation of something. When looking at the face of a clock or watch, the hands move or rotate from the top, down toward the right, then straight down before moving upward to the left and then returning to the top. Clockwise is the opposite of counterclockwise or anticlockwise, when the hands move from the top, down toward the left, then straight down, then upward to the right, and then back to the top.
What rotation does a planet have if it spins clockwise?
The general direction of rotation of everything in the solar system is anticlockwise (counterclockwise) when viewed from an imaginary distant point above the Earth's North pole.If a planet spins the other way, clockwise, we call that sort of rotation "retrograde".
Where is the position of the earth sun in January if the earth rotated anti clockwise?
The Earth normally rotates anticlockwise as seen from the north. If you mean 'if the Earth rotates the opposite way', then its position in January (relative to the Sun) could be the same. The four seasons would also be roughly the same.
Why does the wire loop in an electric motor spin?
A clockwise motor runs clockwise because of the way it is made. It is designed to run clockwise because the designer has an application that calls for clockwise rotation. A counter-clockwise motor runs the other way, again because of the way it is made. Many electric motors are reversible. If you are looking at something and it's clockwise - turn it over and it's anticlockwise!
What way does earth orbit?
counter-clockwise (or anti-clockwise if you're in the UK)
What does it mean to rotate clockwise?
To rotate clockwise means to move in a circular motion to correspond with the way hands of a clock move
