In principle, half of all galaxies rotate clockwise, the other half counterclockwise—and a 2008 study of some 37,000 galaxies confirmed that belief.

Upon firing, the gas drives the piston forward, compressing the spring and causing the spur gear to rotate clockwise.

Warm-core eddies rotate clockwise, whereas cold-core eddies rotate counterclockwise.

Since the electric field can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise as it propagates, elliptically polarized waves exhibit chirality.

The aircraft can climb and descend vertically; fly sideways left and right; forward and backward; rotate clockwise and counter-clockwise; and hover in mid-air.
