What direction do you turn a screw to loosen?

It depends on the "handedness" of the thread of the screw. Most screws have right-handed threads that in order to loosen the screw, the screw is turned in a counterclockwise direction. If however, the screw has a left-handed thread, then to loosen it you would turn the screw in a clockwise direction. By common convention, right-handedness is the default handedness for screw threads. Therefore, most threaded parts and fasteners have right-handed threads so to loosen most screws you would turn the screw in a counterclockwise direction.

What is the diff between clock wise and counter clock wise?

Clockwise is the direction the hour, minute, and seconds hands go on a clock. Basically, clockwise is a circle that goes from right to left. Conversely, counterclockwise is a circle that goes from left to right.For example, most screws are inserted right to left. The common oldtime expression to remember this is "righty-tighty". That would be clockwise. To loosen the screw, the oldtime expression is "lefty loosey", meaning, turn the screw counterclockwise to loosen it.
