Precisely, exactly at the 'pole' there is no rotation, since the pole is a one-dimensional geometric line without any volume. However, any physical object right at the pole will be rotating anticlockwise, as does the earth itself.

(although some people like to believe the world revolves around them self!)

IF Earth's magnetic north pole is not located at the geographic north pole why is a compass useful for determining direction?
"IF Earth's magnetic north pole is not located at the geographic north pole why is a compass useful for determining direction?"
Why do we have north and south polarity?
If you mean why planet Earth has a north and a south pole, that's the result of Earth's rotation. The rotation is around an axis; the endpoints of the axis (where this axis goes through Earth's surface) are called north pole and south pole.
Is the direction of rotation same at the south pole?
The absolute direction of rotation is always the same (from East to west). How we describe that direction depends on the frame of reference we use. Conventionally we look from above the North pole and say the Earth rotates anticlockwise (from East to West). If your reference frame was a view above the South Pole then you would say the Earth otated clockwise (from East to West).
Why do the paths of other stars appear as curved lines?
Because it does
What prevents wind from blowing directly from the south pole to the north?
the rotation of the earth
What direction does the angular velocity vector of the Earth's rotation point toward?
The Earth's angular velocity vector due to its axial rotation points towards the north pole.

What is the polaris north star?
That's a star that is less than one degree of the sky's north pole - that is, it is almost in the direction of Earth's axis of rotation. As a result, while the Earth spins, the North Star stays almost exactly in the same direction.
What is mercury rotation direction?
earth is d only planet wid west to east rotation. so it is proved dat mercury rotates in east to west
Is the sun in retrograde rotation?
No, The sun rotates in the same direction as the earth and most of the other planets - anticlockwise when viewed from above the north pole.

What direction does earth rotate?
the direction of the earths rotation is right The direction of the earth's rotation is East. There are many other answers depending on the position and orientation of the observer relative to the earth. For example, if the observer is facing the globe from a position above the north pole, the rotation appears to be counter-clockwise. If the observer is facing the globe from a position above the south pole, the rotation appears to be clockwise. If the observer is facing the globe from a position above the equator, the rotation appears to be to the right if the observer is oriented so that North is "up" and south is "down". However, if the observer is "upside down"(a northern hemisphere bias), the rotation appears to be to the left.
What is only direction in which you travel from the north pole?
The North Pole is located at the northern most tip of the Earth. The only direction in which you can travel from the North Pole is south.
Why do the paths of other stars appear as curved lines?
Because it does
Which direction does the sun rotate?
Earth's orbit is counter-clockwise when viewed from the north, as is earth's rotation on its axis. Putting it another way, the earth rotates from west toward the east; that is why the sun appears to rise in the east.
Where does the angular velocity vector of the Earth rotation points?
Up out of the north pole. (And down into the south pole.)
