How would you classify the motion of the moon around earths as you view it from above earth north pole?

Viewed from high above the earth's north pole, the earth's daily rotation, the earth's orbital
revolution around the sun, the moon's monthly rotation, and the moon's orbital rotation around
the earth, are all counterclockwise.

One of the great scientists of history called Johannes Kepler did a lot of work in the 17th century and discovered that the orbits are best explained as ellipses, and his three laws of planetary motion published in 1618 have been found to give a very accurate (but not exact) model of the way the planets and the moon behave.

What planets air pressure is the same as it is 30 km above earths surface?
mars
Does the earths atmosphere extend about 1 kilometer above its surface?
i don't know this answer sorry.
Why are telescopes placed in space above earths atmosphere?
Scintillation. Our atmosphere is in continous motion. Warm air changes the angle of EM waves passing through a little bit differently than cold air. The constant motion causes constant shifts in the waves. This is why the stars seem to twinkle. In space, there is no such distortion. Space borne telecopes see far clearer images because of this.
What layer of the earths atmoshere is considered part of outer space?
Exosphere (above about 600 miles).
Where is a satellite when it stays at the same point above earths surface?
That's a "geostationary" satellite. It's roughly 22,000 miles above the equator, in a circular orbit.
What do we call a measure of height above earths surface?
Height above earths surface is called elevation
How do geologists classify igneous rock?

What is the point on earths surface directly above an earths focus?
The epicenter
What is the definition of epicenter and focus?

What is true about plutons?
they form above earths surface (THIS ANSWER IS NOT CORRECT) They Form BELOW earths surface(:
Why can a satellite be stationary above the earths surface?
It appears stationary because it is moving around the Earth at the same rate that the Earth is rotating about its axis.
