How does the moon move in relaton with earth?
The moon circles the Earth approximately every month. It takes 27.3 days for the moon to make one orbit around our planet. Even though it looks like the moon is moving from East to West, it actually isn't. It's moving from West, to East. If you go outside and find the moon, look at the stars behind it. Go outside the same time the next night and the moon will be noticeably East from where it was the night before. :) That's also why the moon rises almost an hour later each night.
