The Earth rotates in an anticlockwise (counterclockwise) direction when viewed from above the north pole.
The Earth rotates counterclockwise (anticlockwise) if looked 'down' from above, from over the north pole.
Every point on Earth rotates from west to east (except the poles,

since there's no east or west at them).

What direction does the earth rotate when viewed from south pole?

Clockwise .


Why does the Earth rotate in single direction?

Once an object, any object, such as the Earth, is set in motion to rotate in a particular direction, it will always continue to rotate in that direction. For the Earth to rotate in another direction would take an enormous, cataclysmic force that would have to be created by a gigantic object colliding with it, or at least coming very close to it.


Which two planets rotate in the opposite direction to earth?

Venus and Uranus rotate in the opposite direction to Earth. Venus has a retrograde rotation, meaning it spins clockwise on its axis, while Earth rotates counterclockwise. Uranus also has an unusual rotation, as it is tilted on its side, causing it to rotate almost horizontally. These unique rotational characteristics set them apart from most other planets in the solar system.


Hurricanes rotate in a counter -clockwise direction true or false?

True. In the Northern Hemisphere, hurricanes rotate counterclockwise due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth's rotation. In the Southern Hemisphere, hurricanes rotate in a clockwise direction. This difference in rotation is essential for the formation and behavior of these storms.


Hurricanes rotate in a counter-clockwise direction true or false?

True, hurricanes rotate in a counter-clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect. In the Southern Hemisphere, they rotate clockwise. This rotation is a characteristic of tropical cyclones and is influenced by the Earth's rotation and atmospheric dynamics.

What direction does the inner core rotate?

The inner core of the Earth rotates in an eastward direction, which is the same direction as the Earth's overall rotation. This rotation is believed to be caused by the movement of the molten outer core surrounding it.

In which direction does the earth rotate looking up at the north pole?

When looking up at the North Pole from above, the Earth appears to rotate counterclockwise or eastward. This rotation gives us our day and night cycle as different parts of the Earth are either facing towards or away from the Sun.
