Counter-clockwise. It's easy to tell. In NY, when it's lunchtime, it's breakfast time in California, which is 3 hours behind. That means that the West Coast sees the sun 3 hours later than the East Coast. Now imagine you're looking down from above and you have the Sun out to the side as the Earth rotates...in order for the East Coast to see the sun first, the planet rotates to the left, or counter-clockwise. The way I see it is the sun moves through the sky to the right. So that tell's me the earth turns to the left
earth rotates from west to east........
check this ......... correct
The rotation of the planet on its axis of spin. The spin is responsible for the day and the night.
no the earth spins on it's axis while rotating around the sun
Yes, "orbit" and "revolve around" mean the same thing. Not "rotate" though; that means "spin". The easy way to remember: Earth ROTATES on its axis (spins around) but REVOLVES around the Sun (while its rotating, of course.)
Spin 7 times. Great question :)
Well, the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. So, if the Sun is not actually moving, then the Earth must be rotating (spinning) on its axis from west to east (counterclockwise when viewed from the north pole).
it takes 24 hours for the earth to spin all the way around.
because god made it that way
what does earth spin on besides a inmaginary line? ============== Planet Earth rotates on its axis.
No, it takes 24 hours for the Earth to spin.
its when the earth moves
yes because the earth rotates <-that way and the moon rotates <-thatway so yes!!!!!!
Earth rotates eastward, in prograde motion. As viewed from the north pole star Polaris, Earth turns counterclockwise.
Each spin of the earth is called a rotation of the earth on it's axis.
The rotation of the planet on its axis of spin. The spin is responsible for the day and the night.
The Earth spins on an axis.
It spins around the earth on an axis like how the planets spin around the sun.
No. Tidal interactions with the moon are gradually slowing the rate of Earth's spin
