If you stood at the north pole and jumped up to look down on our solar system, the earth would be orbiting counter-clockwise, as well as spinning counter-clockwise. The moon would also be orbiting counter-clockwise, as well as spinning counter-clockwise at 1 revolution per orbit. The Earth then rotates 366.25 times per year approximately, which makes for 365.25 days since one is taken up by orbiting the sun.
The moon rotates on its axis in the same direction it orbits the Earth, which is counterclockwise when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole. This is known as prograde rotation.
because of the way the moon looks to us
It depends on where are you standing, over the North pole, or over (or should I say under) the South pole. If you are at the north pole, the Earth appears to spin counter clockwise and at the south pole, clockwise. If you view the Earth from space, with the north pole up and the south pole down, it will spin moving left to right at the equator.
Most planets in our solar system rotate counterclockwise when viewed from above their north poles. Venus and Uranus are exceptions as they rotate clockwise. This rotation direction is likely due to the way the planets formed from the spinning disk of gas and dust around the young Sun.

counter-clock wise from east to west, as viewed from above the north pole.
The moon moves counter-clockwise around the earh
Well the earth spins counter clockwise on its axis.
Earth turns clockwise yet venus turns counter clockwise
The sun rises in the east due to the stationary position of the sun, and the relative position of the Earth. If the Earth's axis is considered up, then, when looking down at the North Pole, the Earth is spinning counter-clockwise.

counter clockwise
It doesnt but the earth does.
counter clockwise
