What would happen to the moon phases if the moon still revolve but earth did not The cycle of phases would be slower?

If the Moon continued to revolve around the Earth while the Earth remained stationary, the cycle of moon phases would still occur, but the appearance of the Moon would change more gradually. The phases would progress at a consistent rate relative to the Moon's orbit, but the context of the Earth not rotating would alter the visibility of those phases for observers on Earth. As a result, the timing of when each phase is visible would be affected, potentially leading to longer periods of visibility for some phases.

Do the phases of the moon go counterclockwise or clockwise?

The phases of the moon appear to move counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This movement is a result of the moon's orbit around the Earth, which is also counterclockwise. However, from the perspective of an observer in the Southern Hemisphere, the phases may appear to move clockwise. Overall, the general perception of moon phases depends on the observer's location on Earth.
