The moon orbits Earth in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above the North Pole. This means it moves from west to east in its orbit. However, if viewed from the South Pole, the moon would appear to orbit in a clockwise direction.

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.

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 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.
