This article is about the direction. For other uses, see Clockwise (disambiguation).
Two-dimensional rotation can occur in two possible directions or senses of rotation. Clockwise motion (abbreviated CW) proceeds in the same direction as a clock's hands relative to the observer: from the top to the right, then down and then to the left, and back up to the top. The opposite sense of rotation or revolution is (in Commonwealth English) anticlockwise (ACW) or (in North American English) counterclockwise (CCW).[1] Three-dimensional rotation can have similarly defined senses when considering the corresponding angular velocity vector.
