Earth's tides push the Moon to an ever greater orbit height but what if the Earth spun the other way?

Same way we see the sun. The moon "rises" and "sets" each day or night just like the sun, because the earth is spinning. The moon appears to go across the sky because of the earth's rotation.

Take a look at the moon early, then go out and look again in a few hours. You will notice it's in a different place. The moon itself hasn't moved significantly in that time, but it appears to move because of the earth's rotation.

PS-For all the people making fun of this question, there sure are a lot of bogus answers. The earth spins around 900 mph, once every 24 hours. The moon rotates around the earth once in about 28 days.

The phases of the moon (full moon, crescent, etc) is determined by the moon's position in its orbit. Today just happens to be a full moon, when the moon is opposite the sun and fully illuminated.

The Earth does spin really fast, but both the Earth and the Moon are very big. So the first important thing is...the Moon is moving very fast too. So even as we spin past it on the Earth, the Moon moves past us around the Earth.

For example: Get on a merry go round and have pal run along side. Can you still see them? Of course.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
