Its both. If you look at the north pole from space, the earth spins counter-clockwise. If you look at the south pole from space, it spins clockwise. If you look at the earth at the equator, It moves to the right, or west to east.

Which way does the earth move clockwise or anticlockwise?
anticlockwise
How does the earth rotates in clockwise or anticlockwise?
The earth rotates from west to east on its own axis.
Why do Indians move clockwise in holy cerimonies?
The clockwise movement is followed to imitate the earth's movement round the sun.
What is the direction of the orbit of the earth?
If viewed from "above", from where you could see the earth's north pole and from where you would always see each planet half illuminated by the sun, all of the planets in our solar system revolve counterclockwise (anticlockwise).
Does mars orbit the sun clockwise or anticlockwise?
Depends on your perspective, doesn't it? Having said that, if you're looking at our galaxy from a "top" view (i.e. down towards the Earth's north pole), then Mars, like everything else in the galaxy, revolves around the Sun in a counter-clockwise direction.
Which planet moves anticlockwise round the sun?
Six of the eight major planets rotate "anticlockwise" (counterclockwise) as seen from above the Earth's north pole: Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. The rotation of Venus is slowly clockwise, while the spin of Uranus is now observed to be clockwise because it has been tipped over more than 90 degrees "onto its side" (as if rolling along its orbital path at times).
Which planet in the solar system spins in the opposite direction?
Both Venus and Uranus have a "retrograde" axial spin. They rotate clockwise when viewed from a point high above Earth's north pole. All of the other planets rotate anticlockwise (counter clockwise).
Does earth rotates anticlockwise?
Yes it does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do inferior planets orbit the sun clockwise?
NO. They orbit counterclockwise (anticlockwise) when viewed from above the Earth's north pole, which is the usual convention. (Mercury and Venus are called the "inferior planets" because their orbits are between the Sun and the Earth.)
Why does the earth spin anticlockwise?
The Earth spins counter-clockwise when viewed from a point above the North Pole. This is called the Earth's rotation about its own axis. Most of the other planets in the solar system also have this type of rotation. The exceptions are Venus and Neptune.
Does the moon orbit the earth in a anticlockwise direction?
Yes, the Moon orbits the Earth in an "anticlockwise" or "counterclockwise" direction. That direction is when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
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".
