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 Mars rotate clockwise or counter clockwise?

Mars rotates on its axis in the same direction as Earth, which is counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This means that if you were standing on Mars's surface, the Sun would rise in the east and set in the west, similar to how it appears on Earth.

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.

Which way is earth turning?
