How does the moon work?

204 views

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.

The Moon is going around the Earth in a circle all the time, completing one circle is about 28 days.

And the Earth’s rotation is a completely separate thing. It’s just a ball spinning one time per day. Nothing overly complicated.
