The Moon is in synchronous rotation with the Earth, which means it rotates on its axis in exactly the same time it takes to orbit the Earth, so one side permanently faces the Earth and the other side permanently faces away. The Moon orbits the Earth as a result of the mutual gravitational force of attraction between them.

Strictly speaking, the Moon isn't revolving around the Earth per se; rather, both the Moon and the Earth are revolving around a mutual point, known as the barycenter. Because the Earth so much more massive than the Moon, the barycenter of the Earth-Moon system is actually within Earth's crust.

The orbit of the moon around the sun is a wiggle around the Earth's orbit - because the moon is locked into the Earth's gravitational grasp.

The angle of the moon's orbit around the Earth was set by the collision that formed the moon.
