What else can I help you with?
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.
What are the directions of the orbits of the moon and earth?
Viewed from a vantage point above the north poles of both the Sun and the Earth, the Earth orbits in a counterclockwise direction about the Sun. Similarly the Moon orbits the Earth in a counterclockwise direction. From the same vantage point, the Earth, Moon and Sun also rotate on their axes of spin in a counterclockwise direction.
Far above the earth's north pole the orbital motion of the planets is?
It is anticlockwise (or counterclockwise), moving in the direction opposite to the hands of an ordinary clock. Most planets and moons (earth and its moon included) rotate in this direction as well.
The direction of the Moon revolution around the Earth is?
The direction of the moon revolution around the earth is from left to right. This is also known as anticlockwise motion.
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.
When does the moon rotate around the sun?
All the time. (The moon is actually orbiting around the Earth, which is orbiting around the sun)
Which direction does the moon rotate?
Counter clockwise
Which way does the moon rotate on its axis clockwise or counter-clockwise?
The moon rotates on its axis in the same direction it orbits the Earth, which is counterclockwise when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole. This is known as prograde rotation.
Which planet has a moon that orbits backwards?
Neptune. It's largest moon Triton orbits Neptune a direction opposite to the direction Neptune orbits the Sun. So either Triton orbits Neptune in a clockwise direction whilst Neptune orbits the Sun in a counterclockwise direction.. or vice versa. Hope this is what you meant! :D ~Riley
What makes a moon a satellite?
I believe because it orbits the earth and does not rotate or turn on an axis. You always see the same side of the moon.
What direction does the moon rotate in?
Counterclockwise. All objects in space spin counterclockwise except Venus because it is was to believed to be hit by a large object that changed its spin.
What direction does the moon rotate on its axis?
The Moon orbits the Earth from west to east. Its apparent motion is from east to west because of the rapid rotation of Earth compared to the monthly orbit of the Moon. Since the Moon orbits from west to east, its once monthly rotation is also from west to east, because it keeps the same face (mostly) toward the Earth throughout the month. In plain English: counter clockwise, as viewed from above the north pole.
