The right hand rule for a positive rotation

The direction of rotation (positive or negative) about an axis or line can be determined by using the Right Hand Rule. Point the thumb of your right hand along the specified line or axis, towards its positive direction. Curl your fingers towards your palm. Your fingers will wrap in the direction of a positive rotation.
