Why do clocks run clockwise?
I think that this might be related to the direction of the earth's revolution on it's own axis and rotation round the sun, as these all are in clockwise direction the clock should run in clockwise only.

Can a compass construct circles?
The only way a compass can be used to create a circle is if you draw round it, because a compass is actually a navigational instrument which shows direction. If you're out in the woods, for example, you use a compass to show you which direction you need to head in. A pair of compasses can be used to construct, or draw, a circle of any size, up to the maximum reach of the "arms".
Is uranus rotate around the sun in counter-clockwise direction?
No, all the planets go round the Sun in the same direction. However Uranus also revolves around its own axis, which is inclined at 98 degrees to the ecliptic, so sometimes it rolls along and other times the axis is pointed nearly straight at the Sun.

Which planet moves anticlockwise round the sun?
Six of the eight major planets rotate "anticlockwise" (counterclockwise) as seen from above the Earth's north pole: Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. The rotation of Venus is slowly clockwise, while the spin of Uranus is now observed to be clockwise because it has been tipped over more than 90 degrees "onto its side" (as if rolling along its orbital path at times).
Which direction does a carousel go?
Nearly always the direction the horses are facing. I can't remember ever having been on a merry-go-round (I mean a real one, not a push one in a kiddie playground) that went clockwise instead of counter-clockwise as viewed from above, but there's no technical reason they couldn't go "backward", or even be reversible ... it just seems to be tradition.

Which direction does a merry go round go?
Counter-clockwise (If viewed from above) In America yes, and I think also in Continental Europe. In Britain, fairground "rides" to give them their correct generic name, always revolve clockwise, i.e. from right to left as you view them from the side.
