lay on the floor and look up at it. If it is moving the same direction as a clock it is moving clockwise.

Hold a piece of tissue paper at a corner such that it is near (but not touching) the fan blades.

If the fan lifts the paper toward the ceiling then it is rotating clockwise. This is best for winter.

If the fan pushes the paper toward the floor (causing a breeze) then it is rotating counter clockwise. This is best for summer.

How can you tell if your ceiling fan is going clockwise or counter clockwise?

Good question. It depends on your point of reference. If you Look UP at it while it is installed on the ceiling, then use the nob or pulley that controls the fan to use as the 12 marker on the clock. If it goes to the right its clockwise and to the left it is counter-clockwise


Does Counter clockwise on a ceiling fan push heat back into the room?

[1] It depends upon whether the fan's standard, or not. [2] Standard refers to how most fans are made. And most are made so that counterclockwise is what's needed for summer cooling, clockwise for winter heating. Non-standard's the opposite. [3] How to tell the difference? Check to see which way the blades rotate when the switch is up, as it should be for winter, or down for summer. Stand underneath the fan. With the former, at the highest setting, there shouldn't be a cool breeze in the face. With the latter, there should.

Do the planets rotate counter clockwise or clockwise?

The Earth rotates (spins) counter-clockwise as viewed from above the North Pole, which is also from above the ecliptic plane of the solar system. This is the arbitrary "up" and "down" convention that allows us to say which direction the Earth is spinning. Most other objects in the solar system spin and orbit counter-clockwise as well.Depending on your location on the planet, the Earth's spin (west to east) could be seen as clockwise or counter-clockwise. In the Northern Hemisphere, looking south toward the equator, the Earth turns counter-clockwise. In the Southern Hemisphere, looking north toward the equator, the turn appears clockwise.If you're looking from Polaris ("above" the North Pole) looking down on Earth, it's spin appears counter-clockwise. If you're looking from the direction of the Southern Cross ("below" the South Pole) looking up at Earth, then the spin would look clockwise.From outside the solar system, the same conventions apply. From Aldeberan, Spica, Regulus or any of the other stars near the ecliptic it appears as if a point on the the left side of the Earth approaches, crosses in front (going from left to right) and goes behind the Earth at the right edge, which we define as west-to-east.Experiment:Hang a ball from the ceiling by a thread, and set it spinning on its axis. Before it has time to unwind look at it from "above" (the string side) and below.The ball will appear to be rotating in different directions due to the different angles of view.
