In what direction does the Earth rotate around its axis? List the geographic implications of the Earth’s axial rotation.

The earth makes one rotation every day around its own axis. In this case, the axis is an imaginary line drawn from pole to pole. This rotation proceeds in an easterly direction.

The length of one revolution is equal to 24 hours (or, as they say in astronomy, to one earth day). The main geographic meaning of axial rotation is the alternation of daylight hours with night. First the Eastern Hemisphere, and then the Western Hemisphere are on the sunny side.
