You've got to be careful with these Earth rotation directions. It depends on which pole you're lookin from. If you look down on the North pole then counterclockwise motion would be California rotating toward New York so you would call it rotation East and this would be the Earth's actual direction of rotation. However if you looked at the same rotation up at the South pole you would call it Clockwise rotation. In most cases of rotation it is understood that you look down along the axis but sometimes its not clear and you should specify how you are looking along the axis before you say clockwise or counterclockwise.
What else can I help you with?
Which way does the moon revolve?
The moon revolves around the Earth in a counterclockwise direction. This motion is called orbital motion, and it takes about 27.3 days for the moon to complete one orbit around the Earth.
Why does the earth turn counter clock wise?
The Earth's counterclockwise rotation is due to its formation from the spinning disk of gas and dust that eventually created the solar system. This rotation has been maintained ever since due to the conservation of angular momentum.
Which direction does the wind blow in the southern hemisphere?
In the Southern Hemisphere, the wind generally moves in a clockwise direction due to the Coriolis effect. This means that winds tend to blow from east to west or south to north in the Southern Hemisphere.
How have astronomers inferred that the sun rotates?
Astronomers have inferred that the Sun rotates by observing the motion of sunspots across its surface. This phenomenon, known as differential rotation, causes different parts of the Sun to move at different speeds, indicating that the Sun rotates. Additionally, observations of the Doppler shifts in the light emitted by different regions of the Sun also provide evidence of its rotation.
What direction does the earth move around the sun?
If the sun rises in the East and sets in the west and we know that the sun doesn't move in the heavens then It has to be rotating anticlockwise as seen from the north pole. (Think about it!). Or if you're Australian Clock wise from the south Pole. (Added just to keep the antipodeans happy!)
Do tornadoes spin counterclock wise in the northern hemisphere?
Yes.
Which planet roates counterclock wise?
All the planets except Venus & Uranus.
Is there any relation flight distance to earth rotaton or if i travel by flight anticlock wise to rotation of earth would it take less time?
There is no inherent relationship to travel times and the rotation of the Earth, but if you are traveling around the world by air, it's often faster if you do it west-to-east rather than east-to-west. That's because the prevailing winds are generally from the west, and flying with a tailwind is faster than flying with a headwind.
What way do you hit the fan clutch nut to take off water pump?
left.....counterclock wise
What direction did the star travel that the wise men followed?
From East to West.
What direction does the spark plug wires go on ford 5.0 distributor cap clockwise or counterclock wise?
counterclockwise
How does the sun appear in the east and set in the west?
The earth rotates in a clock wise motion thus making the sun rise in the east and set in the west.
What planet rotates wrong way?
Venus is the only planet in our solar system that rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets, a phenomenon known as retrograde rotation. This means that the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east on Venus.
Which state border sd?
Starting to the north of South Dakota and heading counterclock wise, the bordering states are North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, and Minnesota
Dir ection of the three wise men?
They came from the East (Matthew 2) so they must have gone west to Jerusalem.
What is the firing order for a 1978 Pontiac Grand Am 301 motor 4.9L?

What direction does the earth go clockwise or counterclock wise?
it is completely subjective. looking down on the north pole, counterclockwise. looking down on the south pole clockwise
