North Map
why earth rotate anti clockwise?
Guy is right; you imagine the world rotating anticlockwise because you imagine looking at it from above the north pole. If you look at it from above the south pole, it will be rotating clockwise. By definition, east is the direction in which the equator moves, and north is the direction from which the rotation appears to be anticlockwise. Those definitions are arbitrary; they could just as easily have been named glop and glump, instead of east and north. Maps are traditionally drawn with north up; that is also arbitrary. Some ancient maps are oriented differently. They even make “upside down” maps for southbound people who can’t see themselves going down.
Nearly all the bodies of our solar system rotate approximately the same direction. That is because the gas cloud we formed from had more angular momentum in that direction. Any celestial body trying to rotate the other direction was like a skater trying to skate the wrong direction around a crowded rink. Collisions ultimately insure that everybody skates in the same direction.
Some committee screwed up when they defined the north and south axes of celestial bodies. It would have made sense to define north as the direction from which ANY rotating object appears to rotate anticlockwise. Instead, they decided that the direction of Earth’s north pole is north for all rotating bodies. Consequently, the galaxy appears to rotate clockwise when viewed from its north axis.
Actually, Earth’s anticlockwise axis is about 123° off from the galaxy’s anticlockwise axis. So which axis of a celestial body is perpendicular to Earth’s axis?
