Yes, as observed from high in the north sky. The sun rises in the east thus the rotation goes from west to east.
from west to eats
The Earth rotates eastwards from west to east. This rotation is what gives us day and night.
It rotates to the left only when seen upside right through our relative image of Earth. The sun seems to go from rising from the west to setting in the east.
From East to West, it is the only planet in our solar system to do so. All the others rotate West to East. Comments: That's not quite true. Uranus is another one. Here's a bit of pedantry: It depends how you define the North pole of a planet. There are two ways to do that, unfortunately. On one definition, Venus actually rotates from West to East. However, nearly everyone ignores that and says Venus rotates from East to West.
The Earth would rotate diagonally.

Venus and Uranus are the two planets in our solar system that rotate from east to west, which is known as retrograde rotation. Most planets, including Earth, rotate from west to east.

Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune are the only planets which rotate from west to east

Well, if you think about it, one is a consequence of the other. If you lie down on the ground and rotate (roll) west to east, everything around you that isn't moving will appear to you to rotate east to west (left to right if your head is pointing north).
The Earth ALWAYS rotates from west to east, and completes one rotation in about 24 hours.
Venus & Uranus rotate in what is called retrograde motion. Retrograde motion is from east to west. All of the other planets including earth rotate from west to east.
The Earth rotates from west to east. This means that when looking down at the North Pole, the Earth is spinning counterclockwise.
Earth's rotation is East according to the globe.
The Earth rotates eastwards from west to east. This rotation is what gives us day and night.
