You don’t see the sun move in the sky? Or do you think the sun is actually the one moving?

So you say I need to know my orientation and position on earth and their orientation and position on earth just to tell someone in which direction I need to rotate something?

The earth spins on a leftward direction on the same plane it orbits the sun. Is that so hard to grasp? More hard than to teach everyone that clocks HAVE to spin in one direction?

Whatever. Just tell the people to rotate something Earth-wise while the rest of the world using a clock as reference.
