yes because the earth rotates <-that way and the moon rotates <-thatway so yes!!!!!!

All comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets?
All comets do not orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets. Some comets orbit in a clockwise direction, while others orbit in a counterclockwise direction.
Does the Earth spin on its axis in the same or opposite direction as the moons orbit?
The direction of the Earth's spin and the direction of the Moon's orbit is the same - counterclockwise
What would happen if the moons orbit were completely in the same plane as the earths orbit around the sun?
A lunar eclipse
Do comets orbit the sun in the same direction?
The orbits of comets are much more irregular than those of planets. Probably the majority do orbit in the same direction, but it's not a sure thing.
Is the moons orbit in the same 3d plane as earths orbit?
No. For one thing, a plane is, by definition, 2-dimensional. The moon's orbit is tilted about 5 degrees relative to Earth's orbit.
Do all planets orbit counterclockwise around the sun?
All of the planets in our solar system orbit the sun in the same direction, but at varying speeds depending on distance from the sun. If looked at from above the earths north pole, they would go counter clockwise.
Do All planets in your solar system orbit the sun in the same direction?
no
Is earths distance the same from the sun year round?
the scary thing is that it doesent. The weirdest thing of all, is when the northern hemisphere experiences winter, thats when the earth is closest to the sun. Luckily the earth remains well withing the ''Goldilocks Zone'' the whole orbit, or else we would all be dead. The Earths orbit of more of an oval shape than anything. The most scary fact of all is that the Earth does not orbit in the same elliptic plane. As its meeting point for a full years rotation moves slightly clockwise. Meaning that we are not completing the same orbit as the people in the Egyptian Era did.
What would happen if the Moon's orbit were completely in the same place as the Earths orbit around the Sun?
Your question isn't very clear. The moon revolves around the earth so it essentially has the same orbit around the sun.
Why do all planets orbit around the Sun in the same major direction?
Gravity
An orbit in which a satellite travels at the same speed as the earths rotational speed is called?
That's a 'geosynchronous' orbit. If it also happens to be over the equator, so that the satellite appears to stay at the same point in the sky, then it's a 'geostationary' orbit.
How are inner and outer planets the same?
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, while the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are the same in that they are spherical, the orbit the Sun in the same direction and they have an elliptical orbit.
