I understand the moon phases, so I don’t need information on that. I can’t wrap my head around the way the earth rotates and the moon orbits at the same time. I have read anton of articles, but just get more and more confused. Do they go in the same direction? How does this work??
Also, i am aphantastic, so please dont try to explain this by telling me to picture something spinning in my head. That just gives me a headache.

Not sure what you need but here. The earth rotates and do does the mood. say the earth rotates at x speed and the moon orbits at y speed (bolth measurements being vectors). from our earthly perspective the speed of the moons orbit will be x+y. something to keep in mind, speed is relative and a measurement can only be taken in relation to something else. another in case the first was off point. the earths rotatoin and the moons orbit arent related in the slightest
