From a north pole view, the earth rotates counter clockwise, thus the sun and moon appear to traverse the sky westward, rising and setting once per day. The moon revolves aroud earth in a counterclockwise orbit, once per month (28 days). This changes the moon's position relative to earth and sun giving us the lunar phases D-O-C-.
