Illustration showing the direction of Earth's rotation. The Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, giving rise to the day-night cycle as the Sun rises and sets as seen from the Earth. The direction of rotation is anti-clockwise when viewed looking down on the Earth from above the North Pole, with the Earth's surface moving from west to east under the Sun.
