Does the moon revolve around the earth clockwise or anti-clockwise?
The moon orbits the Earth in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above the North Pole. This counterclockwise motion is in the same direction as the Earth's rotation on its axis.
Does the moon go clockwise or counterclockwise?
Counter clockwise
What direction does the moon travel around earth?
The moon travels around the Earth in a counterclockwise direction as viewed from above the North Pole. This motion is known as prograde motion, and it takes about 27.3 days for the moon to complete one orbit around the Earth.
Does the Moon travel clockwise around the Earth?
That would depend on from where you are observing:No, it travels counter-clockwise (as viewed from above what we call the North Pole).From space 'below' the South Pole looking towards the Earth-Moon system it would appear that yes, the Moon travels in a clockwise direction.You must always define your frame of reference when speaking about motion of objects in space!
What Direction is moons revolution?
If you were in space, hovering high above the north pole, looking down upon Earth, you would observe the earth revolving about its axis (rotating) in counter-clockwise direction. The moon orbits the earth also in a counter-clockwise direction, and once each orbit, the moon revolves around its own axis, also in a counter-clockwise direction.
Does the moon revolve around the earth clockwise or anti-clockwise?

Does the moon go clockwise or counterclockwise?
Counter clockwise
What direction do the earth and moon orbit?
If you stood at the north pole and jumped up to look down on our solar system, the earth would be orbiting counter-clockwise, as well as spinning counter-clockwise. The moon would also be orbiting counter-clockwise, as well as spinning counter-clockwise at 1 revolution per orbit. The Earth then rotates 366.25 times per year approximately, which makes for 365.25 days since one is taken up by orbiting the sun.
What direction does the moon travel around earth?
The moon travels around the Earth in a counterclockwise direction as viewed from above the North Pole. This motion is known as prograde motion, and it takes about 27.3 days for the moon to complete one orbit around the Earth.
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.
Does the moon orbit counterclockwise or clockwise?
Counter-clockwise. All the planets are in counter-clockwise orbits around the Sun, and all but Venus and Uranus have counter-clockwise rotation (as seen from above the ecliptic plane). The moon is tidally-locked with the Earth so that its rotational and orbital periods are the same.
Does the Moon travel clockwise around the Earth?

Why does the moon counter-clockwise around the earth and not clockwise?
because of the way the moon looks to us
What Direction is moons revolution?

The moon orbits the earth also in a counter-clockwise direction, and once each orbit, the moon revolves around its own axis, also in a counter-clockwise direction.
Does the moon rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?
The moon rotates counterclockwise just like Earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why does the moon move counter clockwise?
The moon moves counterclockwise in its orbit around the Earth because of the direction of its initial angular momentum. This angular momentum was likely established when the moon was formed billions of years ago and has been maintained due to the gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon.
Does the moon always revolve around the earth counterclockwise?
Yes, it always orbits the Earth counter-clockwise as viewed from a position high above the north pole. It would require a stupendous amount of force to change its direction, and the force would certainly shatter the Moon into small fragments.
