A clockwise (typically abbreviated as CW) motion's one that proceeds 'like the clock's hands': from the top to the right, then down and then to the left, and back to the top. In a mathematical sense, a circle defined parametrically in a positive Cartesian plane by the equations x = sin t and y = cos t's traced clockwise as t increases in value. Described another way, constantly turning right's clockwise motion, as viewed from above. The opposite sense of rotation's anticlockwise (the current Br… (More on Counterclockwise)
