As seen from the North Pole, the earth rotates from west to east....that explains why the sun rises on the east horizon the world over.

If you are on the north pole earth rotates to the left.
By the way, assuming that north is "up" then everything in the space turns counterclockwise (planets, sun, the sun system), except the the milk way.

Hi. Picture the Earth looking down on the pole. What direction would it have to rotate to make the Sun rise in the east? CCW.

From above the North Pole, counter-clockwise.

If you hovered over the north pole and looked down on Earth it would move counter clockwise.

Counter-clock-wise. Picture New York and Los Angeles. As the earth spins, New York leads Los Angeles around. It is the first to see sun and the first to see darkness.
