How does the earth orbit around the moon?

Answer 1

25 minutes

Answer 2

Almost everything in the Solar System turns counter-clockwise. The Earth turns CCW, as does the Sun, and most of the planets (except Venus and Neptune). The Moon orbits the Earth in a CCW direction, from west to east.

In physics, it all follows the "right-hand rule". Stick out your thumb, and make a fist with your right hand. Point your thumb north. The earth spins in the direction your fingers are pointing, and the Moon orbits the same way.

Answer 3

Almost everything in our solar system that rotates turns in a counter-clockwise direction as seen from high above the north solar pole. All the planets orbit that way, and all but two of the planets rotate around their own axes that direction.

Why? The best explanation is that CCW was the direction of rotation of the primordial solar nebula that formed the solar system. And once everything is rotating in one direction, it takes a colossal amount of energy to change it.

Answer 4

The Moon orbits the Earth and it goes counter-clockwise when viewed from above the North Pole of the Earth. It moves from right to left in the sky, but it seems to be going the other way because the Earth is also rotating. But if you look at the Moon at the same time every day, it's going from right to left.

Answer 5

It doesn't. The moon orbits the earth, and the earth orbits the sun, and the sun orbits the center of the galaxy. And the galaxy doesn't orbit anything.

Answer 6

The moon moves from west to east in its orbit around Earth.
