because the other way is anticlockwise
A funnel cloud rotates conterclockwise if it is in the northern hemisphere and clockwise if it is in the southern hemisphere.
The sun rotates in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above its north pole.
Jupiter rotates on its axis, completing one full rotation approximately every 9.9 hours. This rapid rotation causes the planet to have an oblate shape, bulging at the equator and flattening at the poles.
Clockwise goes right in a circle, counterclockwise goes left in a circle.
It's generally assumed that the direction clock hands move is derived from the movement of the shadow around a sundial. In the southern hemisphere, that movement is opposite from that of the northern hemisphere. If clockmaking had developed in Australia so that they became dominant in that craft, it is likely that clocks would be running in the opposite direction.
That means, the rotation is in the same direction as the hands of an analog clock or watch move. This is also known as rotating "to the right": if a circle rotates in a clockwise direction, then the upper part moves to the right.
Clockwise is the direction in which the hands of a clock move, going from the top to the right, then down, left, and back up. It is also described as the direction that is considered to be "rightward" of a circle or circular shape.
Venus
Turning something 'clockwise' would be turning it in the direction the hands on a clock turns. 'Counter-clockwise' would be turning it the opposite direction of a clock. I always remember anti-clockwise from clockwise, by which way a clock turns for clockwise, and the opposite way of a clock turning for anti-clockwise.
Clockwise direction is defined as the direction that the hands of a clock move in, which is from left to right.
the correct direcions are clockwise thats why we have counter and clockwise on a clock
The earth only rotates in one direction. It rotates clockwise.
counter-clock wise from east to west, as viewed from above the north pole.
No. Uranus also rotates clockwise as viewed from celestial north
A Chevy 409 distributor rotor rotates clockwise.
Cyclosis occurs in a clock-wise direction.
The hands of a clock rotate clockwise.
