In which direction does the earth rotate around the sun?
Anti-clockwise about its axis.
Depending on which direction one is looking at it (the North or South Pole), the Earth can rotate both clockwise and counterclockwise around its axis around the Sun. However, scientists prefer to view the Earth from the North Pole, in part because previous observations were made from that location. As a result, the Earth rotates counterclockwise around the Sun.

From above the North Pole, the Earth rotates around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction; this motion is also referred to as orbiting or revolving around the Sun.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
