@magnus@mastodon.world @morgaelyn@bolha.us @johncarlosbaez@mathstodon.xyz they're definitely both going clockwise. If your head is at the 12 on a clock face and your feet at 6, the sun is going from 3 to 6 to 9 - clockwise - while the shadows go from 9 to 12 to 3 - also clockwise.

@morgaelyn@bolha.us @dragonfrog@mastodon.sdf.org @johncarlosbaez@mathstodon.xyz If someone is looking at me from above, the 3-6-9 movement is of course clockwise. However, the monster under my bed will look up at me (like I’m looking at the sky), and to him, the 3-6-9 (left-feet-right) movement is counterclockwise.
