clockwise rotation
Sunwise circular movement
Clockwise rotation is movement in the direction a clock's hands travel—from twelve to three to six to nine and back to twelve.
The term applies to circular or pivoting motion viewed from a particular vantage point: Give the lid a clockwise rotation to tighten it.
In mathematics and physics, clockwise rotation is typically designated as negative, while counterclockwise is positive.
