Which direction would the earth appear to spin if you could observe it from below the south pole?

If you observe the Earth from below the South Pole, it would appear to be spinning in a counterclockwise direction.


Does the moon orbit the earth in a anticlockwise direction?

Yes, the Moon orbits the Earth in an "anticlockwise" or "counterclockwise" direction. That direction is when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.


What Direction is moons revolution?

If you were in space, hovering high above the north pole, looking down upon Earth, you would observe the earth revolving about its axis (rotating) in counter-clockwise direction. The moon orbits the earth also in a counter-clockwise direction, and once each orbit, the moon revolves around its own axis, also in a counter-clockwise direction.


Without sun's gravity would earth go into space in a straight line or a circle?

For the purposes of the argument, I am assuming that the earth already has a velocity (Speed and Direction). Any mass in space (i.e. a low gravity environment), would travel in a straight line until it comes into proximity of another object of sufficient mass.Basically, the earth would travel in a straight line until it came across another star, at which point it would change direction.If you want to think in bigger contexts, you could say that the earth will travel in a massive orbit around the galaxy since the galaxy's core is of sufficient mass to affect the direction of travel of earth.


Does moon circle the earth in the same direction as the earth rotates?

Yes, the moon orbits the Earth in the same direction that the Earth rotates, from west to east. This is why we always see the same side of the moon from Earth, a phenomenon known as tidal locking.

Which planet would be difficult to see from earth?

Probably Mercury, since you would have to be looking in the direction of the Sun, the overwhelming glare of which makes it almost impossible to see anything else in that direction. Or, it could be Neptune. You can't see Neptune without a telescope.
