Does the direction of spinning of Earth coincide with direction of its motion along the orbit? Or are they opposite?
I attach the rough diagram to be clear what I’m interested in. Chosen directions are conventional (clockwise and counterclockwise). The plane of screen is counted ecliptics.
Please, explain your answer and point out the source.
