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
