The angular momemtum of pretty much the whole solar system is in that direction. All the planets revolve that way, the sun rotates that way, and almost all of the planets rotate that way. Venus is the odd exception, and it rotates backward, but very slowly. The primordial stuff that eventually coalesced into the solar system was on average moving that way when it started, so that's the way it rotates still.
The Earth rotates because this spin represents the nett rotation properties once it had assembled from random rocks and meteor bits.
As to whether it rotates clockwise or anticlockwise, that depends upon where you are looking at it from.
If you were above the north pole, it appears to rotate anticlockwise.
if you were above the south pole, it would appear to rotate clockwise.
Yes. If you were above the north pole, you'd see the earth rotating counterclockwise just like its Orbit around the sun.
Rotates from East to West

The reason the Earth rotates the way it does is conservation of angular momentum.
Gravitational pull
yeaa
the earth ? on its axis from west to east ?
The earth rotates from west to east on its own axis.
The Earth rotates from west to east, causing day and night. It also revolves around the sun along with other planets.
It's mainly due to the Jet stream - a high-speed 'corridor' of air that flows around the planet at high altitude. Additionally - the planet rotates from east to west.
Every point on Earth rotates from west to east. If you hang suspended over the north pole looking down at it, you see the Earth rotating counterclockwise (from right to left). If you hang suspended over the south pole looking down at it, you see the Earth rotating clockwise (from left to right).

Because the Earth rotates west to east.
To the East, as the earth rotates from West to East.
Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune are the only planets which rotate from west to east
No, the earth rotates west to east. As a result objects like the sun appear to move from east to west.
Earth rotates from west to east.
West to East
because the majority of the solar system rotates the same way. conservation of angular momentum.
