the opposite direction? Or if the earth tilted on the opposite side and started rotating in the opposite direction? Just wondering.
 
First off, the sun would rise in the west and set in the east. The jet stream would likely change direction, causing climate change in many areas. And probably hurricanes would develop differently and instead of traveling generally east to west, they would move from west to east (which would probably be quite a relief to folks in the US Gulf Coast!)
 
If it happens suddenly it causes problems like earthquake,tsunami,
volcanic eruption etc..and climate will change
But if happens slowly it wont cause any series problem only climates will change
 
If the earth just changed its direction and nothing were destroyed in the process the season would be reversed. The northern hemisphere would have its hot season in December, January and February, not June July and August, as it is now.

If the spin were to reverse and the earths tilt went to the opposite side the seasons would stay the same as they are now Either change by itself would invert the season, adding the second change would invert the inversion.

Think of the football play called the reverse, then think of the play called a double reverse.
