Imagine Earth is like a spinning top. Usually, it spins forward, that’s why we have day and night. But what if the planet spun backward? Then the sun would rise in the west and set in the east! You'd still sleep and wake up, but everything else, like how the seasons change or how winds blow, might be totally different!
Examples
- Imagine walking your dog in the morning, instead of the sun shining behind you, it shines in front of you.
- A clock on a backward-spinning planet would move counterclockwise.
