Which orbit would that be? The galactic orbit, the solar orbit, the local cluster orbit? From what viewpoint? Above or below the galactic plane, the planetary system plane, from the point of view of a different place in the local cluster than on earth itself?

What direction moon orbit around earth?
the moon travels from west to east in its orbit
Does the moon orbit the earth in a anticlockwise direction?
Yes, the Moon orbits the Earth in an "anticlockwise" or "counterclockwise" direction. That direction is when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
All comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets?
All comets do not orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets. Some comets orbit in a clockwise direction, while others orbit in a counterclockwise direction.
What is the direction of revolution of the planets in our solar system?
The planets revolve (orbit) in an anticlockwise direction when observed from a point high above the Earth's north pole.
What causes planets to orbit?
Planets are kept in their orbit by the suns gravity, yet their momentum keeps them from falling into the sun. (Thank goodness!) Planets orbit in the direction their star rotates, so in our solar system, all planets orbit in the direction of the star.
Does the Earth spin on its axis in the same or opposite direction as the moons orbit?
The direction of the Earth's spin and the direction of the Moon's orbit is the same - counterclockwise

Meteors direction of orbit?
Meteors travels through earth. While the meteors travel towards the earth they go around the orbit.
Velocity is the speed and direction a rocket must have in order to orbit he earth?
save
How does the earth spin around the sun?
the earth spinds around the sun because gravity makes it orbit
All comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets?
All comets do not orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets. Some comets orbit in a clockwise direction, while others orbit in a counterclockwise direction.
A satellite in orbit around earth is always falling towards earth?
Yes. They accelerate (change the direction of their movement) towards Earth, and this may be labelled as "falling".Yes.

Is the earth's orbit round the sun the same direction as the earth's spin?
yes because the earth rotates <-that way and the moon rotates <-thatway so yes!!!!!!
What is the direction of revolution of the planets in our solar system?
The planets revolve (orbit) in an anticlockwise direction when observed from a point high above the Earth's north pole.
Which way do the plants in the solar system rotate around the sun?
All planets in our solar system revolve (or orbit) around the Sun in an anticlockwise direction - the same direction that Earth spins (daily rotation) as seen by an observer looking down from above Earth's north pole. Since known plants in the solar system all grow on Earth, they too would be compelled to orbit the Sun in the same direction as Earth.
Are satellites an example of acceleration as it orbits around the earth?
Yes. Since the velocity changes all the time, there is an acceleration. The acceleration is towards the center of the Earth. Note that the speed need not change; velocity consists of a speed (magnitude) and a direction, and in a circular orbit, it is the direction that changes.Yes.
