How did we land back on earth from the moon

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.

Space travel was also weird and confusing to me at first, but then I played kerbal space program and it makes sense intuitively. It’s hard to explain without pictures and diagram, but basically spaceships don’t go in straight line like a bullet. Earth & moon gravity, also their relative movement take into account to plan curved shaped maneuver
