Does the earth spin in the opposite direction in southern hemisphere?

huh? what...no, how can one object spin in two different direction

No, it spins in the same direction. Also water does not spin in opposite directions in northern and southern hemispheres, this is a urban legend. The Coriolis effect, that is believed to cause this, is far too weak on such small scales like a toilet or a kitchen sink. The direction in which water spirals while going down the drain, is dominated by the geometry of the drain. You can have different directions of spin on the same hemisphere.

The entire earth is a single entity so it all spins in the same direction. Anywhere you stand on the surface, the rotation is towards the East. However, in the northern hemisphere (especially at the far northern latitudes), this rotation is basically counterclockwise as one looks DOWN at the surface, whereas in the southern hemisphere, the rotation is clockwise as one looks down at the surface.

The spin of water down a drain is something of a myth: the Coriolis effect which is thought to cause this effect is really much to small. In general, water spins down a drain due to minor variations in geometry and flow, and the direction of the vortex is somewhat random. In toilets, the direction of the vortex is regulated by the direction in which water enters the bowl, as the water is introduced at an angle so that it swirls around the bowl and more effectively cleans it.

The Coriolis effect does affect the movement of air in the atmosphere, and this is why cyclonic air motion is generally clockwise in the northern hemisphere.

Earth still spins the same direction all over its surface, and appears to do so, no matter what others say.

The sun and stars still rise in the east, set in the west, but the moon appears upside down compared to N. hemisphere view. The celestial pole is south, and the ecliptic is in the northern half of the sky from South Africa and Australia.

No, Earth spins in the same direction. However, because the centre of the Earth is considered the general "down" direction, Earth appears to spin in a different direction when you cross the equator.

No. But when viewed from directly above the North pole, the Earth appears to spin counter clockwise.

When viewed from above the south pole, it appears to spin clockwise.

In both cases, the Earth is spinning West to East.

But you have to picture it this way.

Think of a clock, with thick black hour and minute hands, but a clear front and a clear back.

When you watch those hands move fromthe front, they appear to move clockwise.

But when you walk around to the other side of that clock, the hands appear to be moving counterclockwise. It's not that they are moving in the opposite direction on the other side, but that your frame of refrence, as an observer, has changed.

No. The Sun, Moon, and stars still rise in the east and set in the west regardless of whether you are in the northern or southern hemisphere.

But if you are facing north then east will be to your right and west will be to your left and the stars will appear to move counterclockwise. If you are facing south, east will be to your left and west will be to your right and the stars will appear to move clockwise.

Just an illusion of perspective of the Earth's rotation from different vantage points. The Coriolis Effect on the other hand, is a real force that effects the motions of fluids (including fluid gases, like our atmosphere) directly influenced by the Earth's rotation.

Um...well no. I don't think we would last very long if the southern hemisphere span in the opposite direction then the north. LOL

I feel that the direction of spin has lesser influence than altitude on the surface of the earth.

The wind itself is an attempt to equalize the pressure gradient (the forces of high and low pressures create wind, instead of the other way around), so you would find low pressure wherever the winds converge. As to the directionality of the winds if rotation were reversed, there are more variables than I'm prepared to deal with.

no but they believe that the hurricanes down there spin in the opposite direction same for tornadoes and toilets but the only planet known to spin backwards and rotate backwards is venus
