1. I want to create a slide that shows the earth revolving around the sun
and at the same time the moon is revolving around the earth. I have the
motion paths in place, however I don't know how to get the moon's path to
follow the earth as it rotates.
2. Also, I want to slow the earths motion path so that is is slower than
"very slow". Is this an option?
For 1, you would need the moon's motion path to trace out the trajectory of
the moon around the sun so that it appears to revolve around the earth but
actually is revolving around the sun as far as the motion path animation is
concerned.
For 2, select the drop down box corresponding to the shape in the Custom
Animation pane, select "Timing..." menu item, type the number of seconds
that you want in the "Speed" box, click OK button.

Thanks so much for your answer.
The answer for 1 seems very difficult. I can't imagine how i would get the
timing right. Is there any easy way to do this?

Do you know how to produce animated gifs. If so a gif of the moon and Earth
would be the easiest way to go

Click on the little arrow on the right of the animation name in your
animation list. Display the "Advanced timeline". Animation 1 is the earth
around the sun, animation 2 is the animation of the moon around the earth
and starts "With previous". Arrange the two animation timelines, so that
they match. (Takes a lot of trial and error.)
Best regards,
Ute
