Does the moon orbit the earth in a anticlockwise direction?
Yes, the Moon orbits the Earth in an "anticlockwise" or "counterclockwise" direction. That direction is when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
Does the moon rotate right or left?
The moon rotates in the same direction as the earth, counterclockwise (anticlockwise) when viewed from above the north pole. One rotation of the moon takes the same time as one revolution around the earth, so the same side of the moon is always facing the earth.
Does the Moon travel clockwise around the Earth?
That would depend on from where you are observing:No, it travels counter-clockwise (as viewed from above what we call the North Pole).From space 'below' the South Pole looking towards the Earth-Moon system it would appear that yes, the Moon travels in a clockwise direction.You must always define your frame of reference when speaking about motion of objects in space!
How would you classify the motion of the moon around earths as you view it from above earth north pole?
Viewed from high above the earth's north pole, the earth's daily rotation, the earth's orbital revolution around the sun, the moon's monthly rotation, and the moon's orbital rotation around the earth, are all counterclockwise.
When a planet that appears to spin counterclockwise when viewed from its north pole has what kind of rotation?
Any planet, moon or object that rotates in the opposite to us (Well we have to have a common denominator) is said to be in retrograde rotation (or retrograde motion) But most objects in the solar system appear to spin counterclockwise when viewed from above the north pole, so this is normal rotation, not retrograde.
Does the moon orbit the earth in a anticlockwise direction?
Yes, the Moon orbits the Earth in an "anticlockwise" or "counterclockwise" direction. That direction is when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
Is the moon connected with North Pole?
No it is not

Where does the moon rise on the first day of summer?
north pole

Why doesn't magnetic North Pole align exactly with the geographic North Pole?
The moon's orbit affects the magnetic field surrounding the earth.
Does the moon stay above the North Pole?
No, the Moon orbits the middle of the Earth, not quite over the equator but over the tropics. The "pole star" Polaris is nearly over the North Pole, and other stars are closer at various times of the year.
What is the movement direction of earth?
Relative to its own axis, it spins in a counter-clockwise direction when viewed from its North Pole. Relative to the Moon, they maintain a fixed orbit around each other at a slowly increasing distance (centimeters per year). The same face of moon is always visible from the Earth. Relative to the Sun, it moves in a counter-clockwise direction on an elliptical orbit, when viewed from its North Pole. Relative to the center of the Milky Way galaxy it moves in a counter-clockwise direction along with all the other stars and planets, again when viewed from its North Pole. Relative to the Universe, the Galaxies all appear to be moving away from each other. At least in our cluster of galaxies, or even our observable part of the universe.

What are Other than earth is also known to have magnetic pole reversals?
The sun (correct for Apex) :)
What happens when moon revolves around the sun?
The Moon actually orbits the Earth which in turn orbits the Sun. Two effects of the Moon orbiting the Earth are... 1 It causes the tides of the sea. 2 It stabilises the plane of Earths rotation. (Helps the North Pole stay pointed Up) 3 It shows phases.
