We know that the Earth rotates west to east (causing the sun to rise in the east and set in the west). And if you look down at the earth from the North pole, it will be rotating counter clockwise. if you look up at the earth from the south pole, then the earth will be rotating clockwise.

Does earth move counter or clockwise?
The Earth spins Counter-Clockwise.
Does the moon move clockwise or counter-clockwise around earth?
The moon moves counter-clockwise around the earh
What direction does earth rotate?
the direction of the earths rotation is right The direction of the earth's rotation is East. There are many other answers depending on the position and orientation of the observer relative to the earth. For example, if the observer is facing the globe from a position above the north pole, the rotation appears to be counter-clockwise. If the observer is facing the globe from a position above the south pole, the rotation appears to be clockwise. If the observer is facing the globe from a position above the equator, the rotation appears to be to the right if the observer is oriented so that North is "up" and south is "down". However, if the observer is "upside down"(a northern hemisphere bias), the rotation appears to be to the left.
What direction is the earth rotating?
The Earth rotates towards the east. If you were to travel to a point directly above the north pole and look down, it would appear to be rotating counter-clockwise.
Does earth rotate retrograde?
No, it rotates prograde - counter-clockwise.
Why do the northern hemisphere rotates counter clockwise?
It doesnt but the earth does.
Which way does the does the moon rotate?
Apparently, the moon rotates the opposite direction the Earth does, which is counter-clockwise, so it rotates clockwise. I don't know how or why, though.
When viewed from the North Pole the earth rotates?
the correct direcions are clockwise thats why we have counter and clockwise on a clock
Does the earth spins its axis?
Yes. The Earth, if viewed from the North Pole rotates in a counter clockwise rotation.
Does the earth spin on its axis?
Yes. The Earth, if viewed from the North Pole rotates in a counter clockwise rotation.
What evidence indicates earths rotation on its axis?
The earth is tilted about 23 degrees 26 minutes. Or, 23 1/2 degrees on its axis. The earth rotates west to east, and if you look down at the earth from the North pole, it will be rotating counter clockwise. if you look up at the earth from the south pole, then the earth will be rotating clockwise.
What makes the sun appear to revolve around earth by moving from ease to west across the sky?
Earth rotates counter clockwise on its axis
Which way is earth turning?
The Earth rotates towards the east. Or, if you were looking down on it from above the North Pole, it would rotate counter-clockwise.
Does earth move counter or clockwise?
The Earth spins Counter-Clockwise.
What direction does Venus spin on its axis?
Venus rotates clockwise, when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
Which of these explains the direction of the earth's rotation?
When observing from high to the north, the earth rotates anti-clockwise (counter-clockwise), or toward the east. That's why the sun rises in the east. The earth's orbit or revolution is also anti-clockwise.
How does Mercury rotate?
Mercury rotates counter-clockwise (west to east), completing one rotation in about 58.64 Earth days.
