Does the earth rotate from west to east (clockwise) on its axis or from east to west (counterclockwise)?

does the sun rise in the east or the west?

I am asking which direction the earth rotates on its axis

yeah. So if the sun rises in the east, which way do you think the earth is turning? C'mon, guy, think a little.

By the way, the sun does not revolve around the earth.

As you said, the earth spins.

So it rotates anticlockwise (east to west)

The Earth rotates from west to east, which is also known as clockwise. To understand this, imagine looking down on the North Pole from space. If you were looking down, the Earth would appear to be rotating in a counterclockwise direction. However, from the perspective of a person standing on the Earth's surface, the motion of the Sun and stars across the sky appears to go from east to west. This is because the Earth's rotation causes the Sun to rise in the east and set in the west. So, when we talk about the direction of the Earth's rotation, we say it rotates from west to east or clockwise.
