  1. The movement of the hands of a clock, from 12 to 1 to 2 and so on, is called the clockwise direction. This is the most common type of turning. When something moves in the reverse direction, opposite to the hands of a clock, it is called the anti-clockwise direction. Both these directions are important in understanding movements like opening taps, unscrewing lids or tightening and loosening nuts and bolts.
