the movement of the moon around the earth is called lunar phase.
what is the movement of the moon around the earth called?
lunar phase
when the moon moves into earth's shadow, a lunar eclipse occurs, during which all or part of the moon's face may appear reddish due to the rayleigh scattering of blue wavelengths and the refraction of sunlight through earth's atmosphere. lunar eclipses happen only during full moon and around points on its orbit where the satellite may pass through the planet's shadow. a lunar eclipse does not occur every month because the moon's orbit is inclined 5.14° with respect to the ecliptic plane of earth; thus, the moon usually passes north or south of earth's shadow, which is mostly restricted to this plane of reference. lunar eclipses happen only when the full moon occurs around either node of its orbit (ascending or descending). therefore, a lunar eclipse occurs about every six months, and often two weeks before or after a solar eclipse, which occurs during new moon around the opposite node.

"from the earth to the moon" and "around the moon" served as the basis for the film "a trip to the moon".
