As you know, the Moon revolves around the Earth. It rotates around its own axis while revolving around the Earth. The direction of its rotation as well as its revolution is the same as the direction of the rotation of the Earth (anticlockwise if seen from above the North Pole). You can find this using the Right Hand Thumb Rule. Interestingly, the Moon takes the same time to complete one rotation around itself as it takes to revolve around the Earth. Let us see how this motion looks.
