How did we land back on earth from the moon

Question

Wouldn’t when we land on the moon, the earth would still be in motion bc of the orbit, and so whenever we exit the orbit of the moon (Which was orbiting the earth) the earth would still be in a constant orbit moving at high speeds, how did we calculate and intercept earth in said orbit.

Answer 1

when the spacecraft leaves the moon’s orbit, it’s still moving nearly the same speed as the moon, and on a very similar course, so it starts orbiting the earth.
