west to east

The Earth always rotates from west to east, which means the direction of rotation is eastward. This rotation gives us day and night as different parts of the Earth face the Sun.

What direction do the currents turn in southern hemisphere?
In the Southern Hemisphere, ocean currents generally flow clockwise due to the Coriolis effect, which is the deflection of moving objects caused by the Earth's rotation. This means that surface currents move in a clockwise direction around high pressure systems and in an anti-clockwise direction around low pressure systems.
What is the abbriviation for south?
S. Always capitalize the abbreviation of a direction.
Where is the true north geographic north?
True north is the direction that points towards the geographic North Pole, which is the northernmost point on Earth. It is the direction used in cartography and navigation to indicate the Earth's axis of rotation.
How does a compass tell direction?
A compass works by aligning itself with Earth's magnetic field. The needle inside the compass is magnetized and points towards the magnetic north pole. By following the direction the needle points, you can determine which way is north.
What direction do the ocean currents move in the southern hemisphere?
In the southern hemisphere, ocean currents generally move clockwise due to the Coriolis effect, which is the result of Earth's rotation. This means that currents tend to move to the left in the southern hemisphere. However, specific ocean currents may have variations in their flow direction based on local topography and wind patterns.
Will earth go the same direction?
yes it rotates on an axis and 'always' in the same direction.
Does earth always spin in the same direction?
Yes it does no matter what.
What direction does gravity act on a plane?
Always toward the center of the Earth.
Which direction from earth is mercury?
It really doesn't have deffonent direction because they are always moving. But it is NEVER sount because Mercury is in front of earth on the solar system.
IS the moon facing west or east when it is a full moon?
The Moon has no east-west direction with respect to Earth. East-west describes the direction of, or opposite direction of a sphere that is rotating. (Like Earth.) As it turns out, the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth. The phases of the Moon, like full Moon, result from which direction the SUN is from the Moon and Earth.
How do i tell if i woman is attacted to me?
You can tell by if she does things to make sure that you can see. She might always look at you and when you look at her direction she will turn to another direction fast.
Why does the Earth rotate in single direction?
Once an object, any object, such as the Earth, is set in motion to rotate in a particular direction, it will always continue to rotate in that direction. For the Earth to rotate in another direction would take an enormous, cataclysmic force that would have to be created by a gigantic object colliding with it, or at least coming very close to it.
What is the direction of acceleration due to gravity in upward motion and downward motion?
The direction of acceleration is always in the same direction as the force. That's nominally toward the center of the Earth. (Technically, it could be slightly off-center, if you happen to be in the presence of a large, massive, non-symmetrical piece of the Earth, like a mountain. But it's pretty accurate to simply say that it's always toward the center of the Earth.)
Do tornadoes always follow the rotation of the earth?
No. While most tornadoes rotate in a direction that matches earth's (clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern), a small percentage go against this. The origin of the spin in tornadoes is not directly related to earth's rotation. Most tornadoes also move in an easterly direction, but not always.
A satellite in orbit around earth is always falling towards earth?
Yes. They accelerate (change the direction of their movement) towards Earth, and this may be labelled as "falling".Yes.

What direction does the earth move?
On Earth, the direction is east to west.
In which direction does the northern sky seem to turn?
The apparent motion is anti-clockwise..because the Earth is turning the other way........
