And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day,
and the lesser light to rule the night:
Genesis 1:16
"Most major satellites orbit on a plane that matches the planet’s rotation along its equator. (Again, Triton is an exception.) Many minor satellites orbit this way too, though some have extreme elliptical orbits with odd paths around their planet—some like Triton even revolve backward with respect to their planet’s
rotation.
The moon doesn’t fit any of these categories.
However, the moon orbits on a plane that nearly matches the plane of the earth’s revolution around the sun. No other satellite orbits in the same plane that its planet revolves around the sun. Not one out of 175.
This fact has a profound effect on the earth, suggesting design."
