When observing from high to the north, the earth rotates anti-clockwise (counter-clockwise), or toward the east. That's why the sun rises in the east. The earth's orbit or revolution is also anti-clockwise.
It is due to the earth's rotation. (source: January 2005 earth science regents exam)
RotationThe spinning of the Earth on its axis is known as 'the Earths rotation'Rotation.Rotating.rotation (as opposed to orbiting, which describes the earth's movements around the sun)
West to east due to rotation - north due to temperature.
This is Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The earths movement around the sun is called as revolution and the earth's motion within itself in its orbit is called as rotation. when the earth rotates its spinning in circles -around and around- and when it revolves its moving around the sun so rotation is when something spins in circles

It's called the 'coriolis' effect.
earths rotation around the sun
It's called Coriolis force.
It's called Coriolis force.
That depends, in what direction it is moving initially, and at what speed. Inertia is the tendency to MAINTAIN a velocity.
counter to the earth's rotation Exactly wrong..........it travels WITH the Earths rotation.....eastwards
