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
What else can I help you with?
What is earth spin?
The rotation of the planet on its axis of spin. The spin is responsible for the day and the night.
How does the earth spin and rotate?
no the earth spins on it's axis while rotating around the sun
Is the orbit of the earth the same as the revolution of the earth?
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.)
What does it take the earth one week to do?

Witch way does the earth spin?
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).
