The closing process seeks to reduce the balance of each account that needs to be closed to zero; therefore, the closing entry must reverse whatever balance the account already has. This means that any (temporary) account that normally has a credit balance will be closed by posting a debit (and vice-versa). Revenue is an example of an account that must be closed with a debit, since it is normally a credit account.

Is a contra account a debit or credit account?

That depends, it could be either. a contra-asset account would be just the opposite of an asset. All assets have a debit balance (increase with debit) therefore a contra-asset account would be a credit. The same holds true with a contra-liability account, it is just the opposite, a liability maintains a credit balance (increases with a credit) therefore a contra-liability account would be a debit.
