Counter clockwise refers to the direction opposite to the rotation of a clock's hands. It is a way of describing the direction of movement or rotation in a circular or spherical system, where instead of progressing in the usual clockwise direction, it goes in the opposite direction.
An angle is positive when it is measured in a counter-clockwise direction. It is negative when it is measured in a clock-wise direction.
According to this quiz we took in my psychology class just now it said counter. Though I swore it was clockwise.
Turning something 'clockwise' would be turning it in the direction the hands on a clock turns. 'Counter-clockwise' would be turning it the opposite direction of a clock. I always remember anti-clockwise from clockwise, by which way a clock turns for clockwise, and the opposite way of a clock turning for anti-clockwise.
