If we assume that North is at the top, and you are standing mid-way betwen the equator and the North pole and looking at the sun, then the earth rotates towards your left, i.e. Eastwards.

Looking down on the Earth from high above the North pole, we will see that it spins on its axis counterclockwise(anticlockwise). After a few days we will also notice that it rotates in its orbit around the sun also in a counterclockwise direction.

And the moon? Well, it doesn't rotate on its axis relative to the earth. It always shows the same face to the earth, as it orbits the earth in a ... counterclockwise direction too!
