Thang about "learned" folk?...(aside from always tellin
ya to RTFM?) they hate to have to see someone
else learn sumthin more better er simpler than they did.

Colin!...Imagine your hovering high above the Earths
equater...k?(notice that the Earth spins by from left
to right)(cause the sun rises in the East)... now advance yerself north
along an arch til yers above the north pole....you'll see a counterclockwise
rotation

....and hey pot smoking is great for geometrical
imagining.....

If I were looking at the earth in such a way that I was looking
straight down at the north pole, is the earth orbiting clockwise or
counterclockwise around the sun? Are all the bodies orbiting the sun
orbiting in the same direction?

Thanks,
Colin
