the moon twist twice as fast as the earth, but also travels 3 times as fast because it has to stay with earths forward motion. Im betting you didnt know that when the moon and the earth and sun line up evenly, it causes two different types of eclipses. A solar eclipse, and a lunar eclipse. when a solar eclipse happens, the moon is in the middle, when a lunar elipse is in effect, the earth is in the middle. you should never look excatly at a lunar eclpise because it can cause eye ball damage or even blindness. i hope you found my information usefull.

∙ 9y agoThe Moon moves around the Earth in an elliptical orbit.
Strictly speaking Earth and Moon orbit their "common center of mass".
However, the Earth has much more mass than the Moon and so we usually just say that the Moon orbits the Earth.
Also, the Moon rotates exactly once in every orbit. That means the Moon always shows the same side to the Earth.
