Some things that happen:* You see the Moon in different phases, as the angle Sun-Earth-Moon changes.
* The tides, caused by the Moon and the Sun, become strongest when Sun, Earth and Moon are in a straight line, and weakest when they are at right angles.
The average distance the Moon travels around the Earth in its orbit is about 1,423,000 miles (or 2,288,000 kilometers).
the moon travels from west to east in its orbit
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.
A solar eclipse happens if the moon, in its orbit around the earth, is located in the direct line of sight from the earth to the sun. The effect would be that the moon blocks the view of the sun.
The moon travels around the Earth in approximately 27 days and 7 hours, which is known as its sidereal period. This is the time it takes for the moon to complete one orbit around the Earth relative to the background stars.
the moon travels around the earth,and the earth travels around the sun
There are no planets that travel around the moon. The moon travels around Earth.
The moon travels in a fixed orbit around the Earth
It doesn't ! The moon travels around the earth !
The speed of the moon as it travels around the earth is approximately 2,288 miles per hour.

The Moon.
Yes. The Moon travels in orbit around the Earth, at the same time that the Earth travels in orbit around the Sun, at the same time that the Sun travels in orbit around the Milky Way, etc.
