I'm not sure of what you mean but I think you got it right. Another way to describe it is if you are North of Earth, out in space, looking back, you would see Earth rotate counter-clockwise. If you were out in space from the South side of our planet Earth, you would see the Earth rotate clockwise.

Why do you only see 1 side of the moon?
the moon rotates on its axis once a month (28 days) The moon revolves around the earth every 28 days The moon is tidally locked with the earth which means that we always see the same side of the moon. It is true that the moon rotates around the earth but it does not spin on its axis.
Atoms in the body rotate on the same axis as the earth?
Yes, the atoms in the body rotate at the same rate on the same axis that the Earth rotates, giving us a direct connection with the place we call Earth.. Comment: I don't know if that's meant to be a joke. Obviously it's not true.
The sun appears to move across the sky each day is it true or false?
If by "seem to move" you are referring to perspective then it is true, since the Earth rotates on an axis and revolves around the sun, if we do not know that it is the Earth that is moving, it would seem that stars move across the sky, except for the pole star Polaris, which is aligned with the north axis and remains "fixed" in its place.
What direction does the sun rise from the tropic of cancer?
Yes. There is no place on earth where the sun never sets.
How do planets effect if the sun sets in the east or west?
The rising and setting of the sun is called an "apparent" motion, not a proper or true motion of the sun. The sun isn't doing anything special as far as rising or setting from a planet's point of view. The apparent motion comes entirely from the rotation of the planets on their axes (poles). The earth rotates (spins) on its axis (the line through the earth containing the north and south poles-- they are really part of one single line. As the earth turns from west to east, the sun and stars appear to move across the sky. Because the earth is moving toward the east, when the sun does come into view (sunrise) it comes into view at the eastern horizon.
Does Earth rotate on its own axis?
it is true Earth rotates on it's own axis one time
Is it true or false Earth rotates on its axis about once every year?
the answer is false.
Is it true that on earth you always see the same side of the moon?
Yes because on the east the moon rotates on its axis and when it gets back to our side we get the same side as always
Is it true that the earths spinning on its axisis called revolution?
No.The Earth rotates on it's axis, wheras it revolvesaround the Sun
Is it true that the earth rotates?
yes the earth rotates around the sun

Is it true that high tides occur later in the west?
Yes. As the earth rotates from east to west, the pull of the gravity of the moon (which causes tides), moves across the earth from east to west.
Is it true that Polaris does not seem to move as the earth rotates?
true

Is it true that Neptune's the only planet that rotates on an axis parallel to it's orbit?
No. That would be Uranus.
Is it true or false that the earth spins on its axis?
True
