What's the difference between clockwise and counterclockwise?

The difference between clockwise and counterclockwise:

1, which refer to different directions.

The clockwise direction of clock rotation is clockwise, and the opposite direction of clock clockwise rotation is counterclockwise.

Identification method: raise your hand, swing it to the right, then to the hem, then to the left, and then back to the starting position. A turn like this is clockwise. Turn in the other direction, which is counterclockwise.

2. Different mathematical meanings.

Mathematically, the clockwise rotation angle is negative and the counterclockwise rotation angle is positive. On the rectangular coordinate system, the circle defined by the equations x = sint and y = cost is drawn clockwise with the increase of t value. The counterclockwise direction is just the opposite of the clockwise direction.
