“Does the earth rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?“ is an unanswerable question since the earth does not have a top. If it’s clockwise at the North Pole then it’s counterclockwise at the South Pole. They should have asked whether the orbit was prograde (west to east) or not.

This is actually really interesting! Space being three dimensional we actually use the celestial hemispheres as a point of reference to determine which way a planet spins in relation to our solar systems invariable plane. The pole of Earth that points to the northern celestial hemisphere is of course our north pole, thus the Earth spins counterclockwise.

[@ReverendLeRoux]

When he brought that up I realized the error of the question immediately. I'm assuming we'd be viewing the globe form the top down, though, which means it would rotate counter clockwise.

[@sntslilhlpr6601]

You guys are way overthinking this. It's child trivia, not philosophy. Asking which orientation the question is asking about is like asking why we call north "north" instead of "south". It's been generally accepted since ancient times that what we consider north is the top of the world. And it makes total sense given that that's where most of the landmass is and also where the vast majority of civilization (and maps) came from. Therefore we consider the arctic the top with the Earth spinning counter-clockwise, a top-down look at our solar system has us traveling counter-clockwise around the Sun, and a top-down look at our galaxy has us traveling counter-clockwise around the center. It's arbitrary, sure, but it is accepted throughout society and that's just one of the things you have to be ok with in Elementary school.

Well, the question asked for how many **different** vowels in the word. Still, "vowel" has multiple meanings. If you consider it to mean "one of the letters of 'a e i o u' (and sometimes 'y')" then one is the correct answer.
