The Moon appears to move anti-clockwise (eastward) around Earth because of the direction of its orbit. It travels from west to east, just like Earth rotates. This motion comes from the way the Moon formed and the natural laws of physics in space. From our point of view, it rises in the east and sets in the west, but shifts slightly eastward night by night.
