Why do typhoons rotate opposite of huricanes?

Typhoons in the Northern Hemisphere and hurricanes in the Southern Hemisphere rotate in opposite directions due to the Coriolis effect. In the Northern Hemisphere, typhoons rotate counterclockwise, while in the Southern Hemisphere, hurricanes rotate clockwise. This is a result of the Earth's rotation and the way it affects air movements in different hemispheres.

What are the differences of cyclones?

'Cyclone' is the generic term for cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons. These tropical storms are called 'cyclones' in the Southern Hemisphere, and they rotate in a clockwise direction. In the northern hemisphere, where cyclones occur in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean, they are called hurricanes and those in the South China Sea and regions of Asia are called typhoons. Northern hemisphere cyclones rotate anti-clockwise, so are sometimes called "anti-cyclones".
