The hands of the clock DO NOT move "anti-clockwise."

If you look at the top sweep of the hands of an analog clock (from the numbers 9 to 3), it sweeps an arc from left to right.

If you look at the bottom sweep of the hands of an analog clock (from the numbers 3 to 9), it sweeps an arc from right to left.

The continuous sweep of the large hand (minute hand) demonstrates a clockwise sweeping motion.

The only ways a normal analog clock would appear to be going anti, or counter clockwise is:

(1) you are looking at it from a mirror, or

(2) you are looking through the back-side of a transparent clock and or wall

watching a "counter-clockwise" sweep of the hands

It is the same as counter clock wise. The hands on a clock, starting from a position at the top of the clock-face, move in a circle to the right, so counter clock wise would be moving to the left, in the opposite direction.

What is clock wise?

Turning something 'clockwise' would be turning it in the direction the hands on a clock turns. 'Counter-clockwise' would be turning it the opposite direction of a clock. I always remember anti-clockwise from clockwise, by which way a clock turns for clockwise, and the opposite way of a clock turning for anti-clockwise.

Do tropical cyclones move clock-wise or anti clock-wise?

Tropical cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise (anti-clockwise) due to the Coriolis effect. In the Southern Hemisphere, they rotate clockwise. This rotation is a result of the Earth's rotation and the way air flows around areas of low pressure.
