What direction does the moon revole around earth​

Answer: The direction the moon revolves around the earth is Prograde direction.

Explanation: The moon orbits the Earth once every 27.322 days. It also takes approximately 27 days for the moon to rotate once on its axis. As a result, the moon does not seem to be spinning but appears to observers from Earth to be keeping almost perfectly still. Scientists call this synchronous rotation.  The side of the moon that perpetually faces Earth is known as the near side. The opposite, or "back" side is the far side. Sometimes the far side is called the dark side of the moon, but this is inaccurate. When the moon is between the Earth and the sun, during the new moon phase, the backside of the moon is bathed in daylight.  The orbit and the rotation aren't perfectly matched, however. The moon travels around the Earth in an elliptical orbit, a slightly stretched-out circle. When the moon is closest to Earth, its rotation is slower than its journey through space, allowing observers to see an additional 8 degrees on the eastern side. When the moon is farthest, the rotation is faster, so an additional 8 degrees are visible on the western side.

Image result for Is work done when you carry a book across the room at a constant velocity

Work is not done when you carry an object forward. You may have learnt that carrying an object and moving horizontally at a constant velocity has no work done. The truth is, there is a slight amount of work done due to overcoming air resistance in the horizontal direction.
