This is called its orbit. Strictly, the moon and the earth both orbit their common centre of mass.
The path of the moon around Earth is elliptical orbit. It takes about 29 days to complete one orbit of earth by moon.

Why does the moon seems to change its shape as it moves around the earth?
The moon seems to change shape as it moves around the earth because the moon is always half lit by the sun. The amount of the lit half we see changes because the moon revolves around the earth.
What direction does the moon travel around earth?
The moon travels around the earth in a counterclockwise direction. The moon moves from west to east. It moves around 12 degrees towards east in Earth's sky every day.
Does the moon move clockwise or counter-clockwise around earth?
The moon moves counter-clockwise around the earh
What is it called when the earth moves between the sun and the moon?
A lunar eclipse. A solar eclipse is the other way around when the moon passes between the Earth and Sun. This would be a solar eclipse
How does the Moon's appearance change during the phases?
It moves around the earth. So the earth makes a shadow on the moon.
Why is the moon called the satellite of the earth?
The moon is called a satellite of earth because it revolves around the earth

What is the path in which the moon moves around the earth?
The ORBIT of the Moon.
Does the moon orbits or circles the sun?
The Moon orbits the Sun. The gravitation of the Earth will provide slight disturbances to the Moon's orbit around the Sun, but mainly, the Moon moves around the Sun.The Moon orbits the Sun.

Does the earth move around the sun the moon or mars?
The earth moves around the sun it is yearly orbit of the sun. The earth and the moon actually move around each other, since they both orbit what is called the 'barycenter', the center of gravity of the earth-moon system. The barycenter is beneath the earth's surface, and moves in such a way that it is always in line with the moon's center of gravity and the earth's. This gives earth a slight wobble in its yearly orbit of the sun. The earth does not move around Mars.
