north and south pole. at the north pole the only direction you can move is south, at the south pole the only direction you can move is north...

however this falls apart as soon as you leave the pole (even one step) then you can turn right or left and move east or west. (though not far)

Does air masses generally travel from east to west?

No, air masses typically move from west to east due to the prevailing westerly winds in the middle latitudes. These winds are caused by the rotation of the Earth and the atmospheric circulation patterns.


What direction relative to an observer on the earth's surface does the moon travel in its orbit?

In this case, there is 'true' motion, and there is 'apparent' motion. To an observer on earth, the moon 'appears' to rise in the east and set in the west, just like the sun. But in fact the moon travels from west to east in its orbit around the earth. From a perspective far about the earth and to the north, the moon travels counter-clockwise around the earth. It is the relatively rapid daily spin of the earth from west to east that causes the apparent motion. The moon takes a whole month to orbit earth; in that time 27+ days have gone by on earth.


How places on the earth may be located using coordinate system?

Places on Earth can be located using a coordinate system, such as latitude and longitude. Latitude measures a location's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude measures its distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. By combining these coordinates, any point on Earth's surface can be pinpointed with accuracy.

Places in the east are ahead in time due to the rotation of the Earth. Each time zone is roughly 15 degrees of longitude wide, and because the Earth rotates from west to east, places further east experience sunrise and sunset earlier than places further west.

Is it earlier or later as you travel east?

As you travel east, you move into earlier time zones, which means the time is earlier than your starting point to the west. This is because the Earth rotates from west to east, causing the sun to rise earlier in the east.
