When describing a rotation, the direction can be specified as either **clockwise** or **counterclockwise** (or anticlockwise).

- **Clockwise (CW)**: This direction refers to the motion that follows the same direction as the hands of a clock. It moves in a downward and rightward direction when viewed from above.

- **Counterclockwise (CCW)**: This direction is opposite to that of a clock’s hands, moving upwards and leftward when viewed from above.

The context in which you are describing the rotation (such as in a plane, in three-dimensional space, or as part of a mechanical system) may also influence how these terms are applied.
