The moon rotates counterclockwise due to the direction of its formation and the conservation of angular momentum in the protoplanetary disk from which it originated. As the moon formed from debris left after a massive collision between the Earth and a Mars-sized body, it inherited the rotational direction of the surrounding material. This counterclockwise rotation is also consistent with the rotation of the Earth and most other bodies in the solar system. As a result, the moon displays a synchronous rotation, always showing the same face to Earth.

Which direction does the moon rotate if it orbits anticlockwise?
That means that if you observe from the north, it would rotate counterclockwise - the direction opposite of the rotation of a clock's hands.
Does the moon rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?
The moon rotates counterclockwise just like Earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate in a clockwise or a counterclockwise direction?
Most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere, at least 99%, rotate counterclockwise.
What are the directions of the orbits of the moon and earth?
Viewed from a vantage point above the north poles of both the Sun and the Earth, the Earth orbits in a counterclockwise direction about the Sun. Similarly the Moon orbits the Earth in a counterclockwise direction. From the same vantage point, the Earth, Moon and Sun also rotate on their axes of spin in a counterclockwise direction.
Do tornadoes rotate counterclockwise?
Most tornadoes (about 99%) in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise. But most in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise.
What direction do tornadoes rotate in the northern hemishpere?
The vast majority of tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.
Does Eris rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?
Eris rotates counterclockwise on its axis.
The earth rotates and the moon revolves in opposite directions?
This statement is not accurate. The Earth rotates counterclockwise on its axis, while the Moon revolves counterclockwise around the Earth when viewed from above the North Pole. They both rotate in the same direction.
Do hurricanes rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?
clockwise
What direction does the distributor rotate for a 351windsor?
counterclockwise
Do tornadoes rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?
Tornadoes in the northern hemisphere typically rotate counterclockwise, while tornadoes in the southern hemisphere typically rotate clockwise. This rotation is due to the Coriolis effect caused by Earth's rotation.
Do planets rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?
They spin clockwise
