If the earth rotates from west to east?

Answer 1

West to East, actually. The Sun is considered to be standing still (although our entire Solar System is moving as the galaxy spins) while the Earth is turning. We _see_ the Sun rising in the East - which means the Earth is turning TOWARD the east.

Answer 2

This rotation causes the sun and stars to appear to rise in the east and set in the west. It also creates the Coriolis effect, which influences global wind patterns and ocean currents. The rotation period of the Earth is approximately 24 hours.

Answer 3

It isn't from "west to east," it is currently referenced as "east to west." This is because early successful cartographers were from the northern hemisphere. If they had been from the southern hemisphere, and the South Pole had been designated "top," the conventional rotation of the earth would then have been from what we now call West to what we now call East (although the actual rotational direction would have been exactly the same).

Answer 4

This question is not a question, but I'll offer an answer anyway:

The Earth's rotation carries any point on its surface from the west toward the east.

Answer 5

Viewed from a point in space far above the north pole, anticlockwise. Viiewed from a point on the equator, with the sun above you, westwardly.

Answer 6

. . . then everything we see in the sky appears to move from east to west.

Answer 7

Yes, from west to east. Just remember that the Sun isn't really moving, and the APPEARANCE of the Sun rising in the east is because the Earth spins that way like an enormous carousel.

Answer 8

west to east

Answer 9
