What is the motion of the moon?
colteranderson16 asked:
I need to know the position of the moon in the sky (from the ground) over the course of a month. Needs to look like the same position on Earth but over a month. I would think it would look like the moon moving from one side of the paper to the other. Like an arch or something. Please help me find a picture of this. Thanks

Look at the graphic on this page:
Picture the earth at the center turning counter-clockwise once every day and the moon orbiting, also counter-clockwise, about every 28.5 days.
