Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The earth rotates from west to east. So in time the eastern part of the earth is ahead of the western part. The Earth rotates on its own axis and rotates in the east and in an anti-clockwise direction in stable motion. Thus the direction of earth’s rotation is considered as from west to east.
Detailed explanation-2: -When you travel west, the Sun gets lower and lower in the sky. It is as though you are seeing the Sun as it would be at an earlier time in the day. We can make this more precise by saying that as you travel East you will gain time, and as you travel west you will lose time.
