Answer 1

Well, what kind of motion do you mean?

First the movement of the moon around Earth every month.

Next the rotation of the moon, which is almost exactly as long as the time for one orbit of the moon.

Because the orbit of the moon is no circle, but a ellipse, the moon shows also a special movement relative to Earth, which is called liberation. That is caused by the rotation speed of the moon being constant, while the angular velocity around Earth is not.

Also, the moon travels around the sun, together with Earth.
