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?
False. While most comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets (counterclockwise when viewed from above Earth's North Pole), there are exceptions. Some comets have retrograde orbits, meaning they orbit in the opposite direction of the planets.
The International Space Station (ISS) travels from west to east in a roughly circular orbit around Earth. This means it moves in the same direction as Earth's rotation, completing an orbit approximately every 90 minutes.
the moon travels from west to east in its orbit
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.
A satellite is in geostationary orbit when it orbits the Earth at the same speed and direction as the Earth's rotation. This allows the satellite to appear stationary from the surface of the Earth. Measurements of its position and velocity can confirm that it is in geostationary orbit.
The direction of the Earth's spin and the direction of the Moon's orbit is the same - counterclockwise
Meteors travels through earth. While the meteors travel towards the earth they go around the orbit.
False. While most comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets (counterclockwise when viewed from above Earth's North Pole), there are exceptions. Some comets have retrograde orbits, meaning they orbit in the opposite direction of the planets.
The Earth takes about 365.25 days to complete one orbit around the Sun. The Moon is estimated to be around 4.5 billion years old and travels in an elliptical orbit around the Earth in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above the North Pole.
Earth orbits the sun in an elliptical path, moving in a counterclockwise direction.

The direction of motion of a satellite in a circular orbit is perpendicular to the curved surface of the Earth. This means that the satellite moves parallel to the surface at a constant distance rather than following the curve of the Earth.
When viewed from ecliptic north, both Venus and Earth orbit the Sun in a counterclockwise direction. This counterclockwise motion is consistent for all planets in our solar system, as they all orbit the Sun in the same direction due to the initial angular momentum of the solar nebula from which they formed.
