One way, when the sun is shining, is with a stick and two pebbles. Find a stick about 3 feet in length, and a couple of pebbles. Clear a flat area of dirt or sand. Push the stick into the dirt/sand so that it is upright. The stick should cast a shadow. Place one pebble right at the end of the stick's shadow, then go away and do something. About an hour or two later, come back and place the second pebble at the end of the stick's new shadow. Now, if you draw a line between the two pebbles you have your East/West direction, with the first pebble being West, and the second East. If you make a line perpendicular to the East/West line, the direction pointing away from the stick is North (in the northern hemisphere) or South (in the Southern Hemisphere).

Which way does the earth rotate toward the east or toward the west?
The Earth rotates from west to east. This means that when looking down at the North Pole, the Earth is spinning counterclockwise.
Which way does the earth rotate?
Counter-clockwise, as viewed from the north star. It moves to the direction from west to east
What way is this right north west east or south?
Depends which way your facing. North is east, east is south, south is west, and west is north.
Which way earth turns?
Earth rotates on its axis from west to east, which means that it spins counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This rotation gives us day and night as different parts of the Earth are either facing towards or away from the Sun.
After the sun sets in the west how does it get all the way over to the east before it rises the next morning?
The sun doesn't move. The Earth rotates, it spins around the sun stays in one place. It's night time on your side of the world when the earth turns away from the sun. The suns light is shining on the other side of the world at that time
What way does the earth revolve?
West to East
The longitudes divide the earth into which direction-east west north or south?
Lines of Logitude run from pole to pole. Thus they measure the divide from east to west. The easy way to remember is that lines of Latitude are Horizontal, in the same way the Horizon is.....

Witch way does the earth spin?
Well, the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. So, if the Sun is not actually moving, then the Earth must be rotating (spinning) on its axis from west to east (counterclockwise when viewed from the north pole).
What direction does the lines of longitude measure?
The lines don't measure anything, any more than the marks on a ruler do the measuring for you. Longitude is an angle on the Earth's surface. It's the angle, measured east or west, from the Prime Meridian to whatever location you want to talk about. On a map or globe, there may be some lines printed along the way, to help estimate the angle.
Does earth moves from east to west?
The Earth spins counterclockwise so no, it spins from west to east. Counter clockwise if you are standing on the north pole. Clockwise if you stand on the south pole. Either way it spins from west to east.
What way does Hercules move across the sky?

Which way is faster flying either west-to-east or east-to-west you a hot air balloon flying across the continental US?
As earth is moving east to west we should move west to east to faster to our destination.
Why does the earth rotates east to west not west to east?
because the majority of the solar system rotates the same way. conservation of angular momentum.
