Q. In which direction earth spins on its axis?
✅ Correct Answer: (B)
West to East
Explanation:
The Earth rotates (spins) on its axis from west to east.
- This is why the Sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west.
- This rotation takes approximately 24 hours, resulting in day and night.
Why not the others?
- (A) North to South and (C) South to North – These describe direction along Earth's axis, not the direction of spin.
- (D) East to West – Opposite of the actual rotation direction.
Therefore, Earth spins from west to east on its axis.
