In fact, as the Moon travels around the Earth in a counter-clockwise orbit every 27.5 days, it also completes one full rotation on its axis â also moving in a counter-clockwise direction.
TW '14-'16. No; Earth's moon exhibits prograde motion, meaning that it orbits Earth in the same direction that Earth is rotating on its axis. Viewed from above the North Pole, this is counter-clockwise. This is also the same direction in which Earth orbits the Sun, and the same direction in which the Sun rotates on its axis. Of the larger moons in our solar system, only Neptune's Triton orbits in retrograde motion, opposite the planet's rotation. However, a number of smaller, asteroid-sized moons orbit in retrograde.
