Is this right? Of course it is. Considering who it comes from, must be. So, am I the only one envisioning the sunrise hitting London's west side first and traveling eastward across Europe? As I understand, Earth also revolves around the sun in a counter-clockwise direction. Right? If that were clockwise, I'd be fine.
"Seen from above the north pole, the Earth rotates in a counter clockwise direction. This is why regions in the east see the Sun before regions in the west. If you could fly in space above the Earth and time its rotation, you’d be surprised to find out that the Earth only takes 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09 seconds to turn once on its axis. Astronomers call this a sidereal day."
