Rotates from west to east on its axis Moves round the earth
ROTATION AND MOVEMENT OF THE MOON * The moon also rotates on its own axis * As the moon rotates on its axis it is also moving around the earth * The moon moves around the earth from west to east * The moon takes about 271/3 days to move around the earth
