Does the world spin clockwise or anti-clockwise?
Answers:
Counter-clockwise. That's why the sun (seemingly) rises in the east, and sets in the west.
looking from above the northpole: counter-clockwise
looking from above the southpole: clockwise
It depends where you are referencing that from. If you are above the North Pole looking down to earth then it spins anti-clockwise.
Anti-clockwise.
New York is 5 hours behind London in time so as the sun stays still and the earth rotates London gets the sun first then 5 hours later New York gets the sun.
Yes
anti-clockwise, when looking down from the north pole. Sun rises in the east and sets in the west - you can work it out from there.
Yep..it birls round anti-clockwise.
Yes anti-clockwise from above the north pole looking down. Supplementary question has occurred to me. How would the directions "clockwise" and "anti-clockwise" have been described before the invention of clocks?
Jack is only 100% correct.
If you were standing at the North Pole the world would be spinning counter clockwise.
depends which way you are looking at it
guesswork...
Given that there are different time zones & Japan being in the far east and deemed to be the land of the "rising sun" ..
earth has to rotate anticlockwise
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. So if you were on the North pole, it would seem counter-clockwise or anti-clockwise. But it is vice-versa on the south pole.
earth spin on it axis from west to east which mean it anti-clockwise.that's why the sun rises first at japan ho ho..
