Revolution
The motion of the Earth as it travels around the sun is called 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.
That would depend on from where you are observing:No, it travels counter-clockwise (as viewed from above what we call the North Pole).From space 'below' the South Pole looking towards the Earth-Moon system it would appear that yes, the Moon travels in a clockwise direction.You must always define your frame of reference when speaking about motion of objects in space!
The Earth's annual motion around the sun is called a revolution.
The intrinsic motion of stars refers to their individual motion within a galaxy, which is influenced by factors such as their orbits around the galaxy's center, interactions with other stars, and their velocity relative to us on Earth. This motion is distinct from the apparent motion we observe due to the rotation of the Earth and the motion of the galaxy itself.

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.
The term that refers to the motion of the Earth as it revolves around the Sun is "orbit." The Earth's orbit is an elliptical path that takes approximately 365.25 days to complete, which defines one year. This motion, combined with the tilt of the Earth's axis, is responsible for the changing seasons.
Earth's most famous natural satellite is known as the moon.
It depends on your frame of reference. The earth travels around the sun, the sun travels around the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy, taking the earth and the rest of the Solar System with it. The Milky Way travels around the centre of the local cluster taking the sun and the Solar System along with it. And so on. So what do you measure motion relative to?
the moon travels around the earth,and the earth travels around the sun
The Earth moves in both rotational and translational motion. Rotation refers to its spinning around its axis, which causes day and night, while translation refers to its orbit around the sun, which takes about 365 days to complete.

In this case, there is 'true' motion, and there is 'apparent' motion. To an observer on earth, the moon 'appears' to rise in the east and set in the west, just like the sun. But in fact the moon travels from west to east in its orbit around the earth. From a perspective far about the earth and to the north, the moon travels counter-clockwise around the earth. It is the relatively rapid daily spin of the earth from west to east that causes the apparent motion. The moon takes a whole month to orbit earth; in that time 27+ days have gone by on earth.
The period to rotate once on its axis is known as a day,The period to revolve around the Sun is known as a year.
