Our point of view is in essence distorted by the place in which we view it happening. Please see Reference frame

  Coriolis effect
  In physics, the Coriolis effect is a deflection of moving objects when they are viewed in a rotating reference frame. In a reference frame with clockwise rotation, the deflection is to the left of the motion of the object; in one with counter-clockwise rotation, the deflection is to the right...
