The motion of a body that travels around another body in space is called orbiting or revolution. The body that is being orbited is typically much larger and exerts a gravitational force that keeps the orbiting body in motion around it. This motion follows a specific path determined by the balance between the gravitational force and the velocity of the orbiting body.

Does the Moon travel clockwise around the Earth?

That would depend on from where you are observing:No, it travels counter-clockwise (as viewed from above what we call the North Pole).From space 'below' the South Pole looking towards the Earth-Moon system it would appear that yes, the Moon travels in a clockwise direction.You must always define your frame of reference when speaking about motion of objects in space!


What is the motion of a body around another in space?

The motion is an orbit. The two bodies take up elliptical orbits about their common centre of mass. When one body is far more massive, like the Sun, it hardly moves and the lighter object (a planet) does all the dashing about.
