which way does the earth rotate around the sun?

Answer 1

This way (makes spinny motion with index finger).

There is no real clockwise or counter-clockwise in space since there is no up or down, but if you consider the Milky Way's "up" to be where it appears to be spinning counter-clockwise, then the earth also revolving counter-clockwise.

"The moon revolves counter-clockwise in this viewpoint just at the planets circle the sun counter-clockwise and the sun itself revolves counter-clockwise. That is, they are all going the same way"

Answer 2

The Earth turns around the Sun in the same direction as it spins on itself. If you were to "hover" high above Earth's North pole, you would see Earth spinning anti-clockwise on itself. You would also see the Earth orbiting the Sun in an anti-clockwise direction.

If you were to hover above the South pole, you'd see the spin as clockwise and the orbit also as clockwise.

At local noon, when the Sun is due South (if you live in the Northern hemisphere) or due North (if you live in the southern hemisphere), turn to face West. You then face the direction in which we are going around the Sun (approximately). If you are on daylight-saving time, local noon is around 1 p.m.

Answer 3

When the sun rises, look straight up. That's the direction the Earth is moving.
