because of the way the moon looks to us
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.
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.
If a ball is spun counter clockwise, it would travel in the direction opposite of the spin. So, it would move to the right if you are looking at it from above.

Apparently, the moon rotates the opposite direction the Earth does, which is counter-clockwise, so it rotates clockwise. I don't know how or why, though.
Counter-clockwise. All the planets are in counter-clockwise orbits around the Sun, and all but Venus and Uranus have counter-clockwise rotation (as seen from above the ecliptic plane). The moon is tidally-locked with the Earth so that its rotational and orbital periods are the same.

Counter clockwise (or anti-clockwise) when looking down onto the north pole.
they normally move in a clockwise circle
