The Earth rotates towards the east. Or, if you were looking down on it from above the North Pole, it would rotate counter-clockwise.
No, it is because of the Earth rotating on its axis.
Because you're standing on the earth, and the earth is turning. As it turns, the direction that your eyes are pointing keeps turning ... pointing at different stars as time goes on. Since you don't feel the earth turning, and your body feels like it's standing perfectly still, your brain has only one other way to understand why your eyes keep pointing at different stars ... the whole sky must be turning!

They are both satellites to an object which means that they are similar. The moon revolves around the earth, while it is also orbiting around the sun. There is really no difference, but the moon is a satellite that revolves around an object that is turning, and the earth is an object that only turns around the sun.
The sun does rotate on its axis, but not exactly the way the Earth does, because the sun is made of gas, and different sections of it rotate at different speeds.
The turning of Earth is called rotation. Earth rotates on its axis, which takes approximately 24 hours to complete one full rotation. This rotation is what causes day and night.
As long as the earth keeps turning and the moon revolves around the earth
The moon has nothing to do with defining an earth day. A day is the length of time it takes for the earth to turn all the way around (rotate) once. When your spot of the earth turns around toward the sun, you see the sun "rise," but it's the earth that's turning. The sun isn't actually rising at all. It's at the center, and the earth goes around it, turning once a day as it goes. The moon goes around (orbits) the earth just as the earth goes around (orbits) the sun.
because of gravity Answer: You DO turn with the turning of the Earth. You turn at the same rate the Earth does.
