As has been stated, considered from the North pole the Earth is already spinning in an anti-clockwise route. If the Earth changed into already spinning interior the alternative route then the 'Coriolis outcomes' on the sea contemporary gadget and on the Atmospheric gadget, might want to be reversed. climate platforms might want to be subsequently affected and be performing for this reason. contemporary triumphing erosion outcomes might want to act on the alternative fringe of the particular features in the international, etc etc. international Time zones might want to be reversed and the daylight might want to 'upward push' interior the West and 'set' interior the East providing the route co-ordinates are maintained. however, for the Earth to opposite it is spin route from the triumphing, then a international disaster might want to ascertain, because the Earth might want to ought to first decelerate, end, and then boost up lower back interior the alternative route. entire chaos might want to maintain on with in this procedure, centrifugal and centripetal forces might want to replace and it is quite possibly that human existence kinds might want to end to exist in the international. it truly is clearly a only hypothetical challenge and question and a 'theory try' purely.

all of the planets in our solar system turn in the same direction, except for Venus, which turns very, very, very slowly the other way.
there is a reason for it but i cant remember and i dont feel like looking it up. "clockwise" is definately not the correct term.
