Explanation of Solution
Earth rotates towards the east, and its velocity adds to the velocity given to the satellite by the rocket, thereby the velocity that the rocket must supply.
Conclusion:
So, it is easier to launch a satellite from Earth into an orbit that circle eastward, than it is to launch one that circle westward.
