Yes, though to an unequal extent. For Earth's part, it has enough attraction on the moon to keep it orbiting continually around us. For the moon's part, it has enough attraction on the earth to cause tides, and to a lesser extent the precession of the equinoxes.

Why does the moon circle the earth?
The moon orbits the Earth due to the gravitational pull the two bodies have on each other.
Why do the moon and earth do not bump each other?
because the moon has an orbit that goes around the earth which is a path that the moon takes so it will not bump into any other planets
How does earth sun and moon interact each other?
it interact by kissing
What foce pulls the moon and Earth toward each other?
Gravity
Why does earth and moon does not bump each other?
because it is very dangerous
Does Earth pull the moon toward it?
Earth and moon pull on each other, with equal force. That's how gravity works. As the result, earth and moon both revolve around their mutual center of mass ... the point where the pivot would have to be in order for the earth and moon to balance each other at opposite ends of a see-saw. Since the earth's mass is about 80 times the moon's mass, the point around which the two bodies orbit happens to be inside the earth, so somebody who's watching from far away would swear that the moon orbits the earth while the earth stands still.
How did the moon get to where it is?
4 billion years ago, the earth collided with another planet, that planet fell apart and the debris of that planet stayed in an orbit around the earth. Those pieces of debris attracted each other and they builed up the moon like that
Why does the earth not attract the moon by its gravitation?
It does, actually. Every mass attracts every other mass by gravity. If the Moon were not attracted to the Earth by gravity, the Moon would go sailing off into space all alone. The Moon does not get closer to the Earth because the Moon is in orbit around the Earth.
When there is a full moon where are the Moon Sun and Earth relative to each other in space?
They are in a line with Earth in the middle.
What do the earth and the moon have the same distance from?
each other
How are the earth moon and sun related to each other?
The moon circles around the earth; the earth circles around the sun.
How are earth moon and satellite related to each other?
they both have one moon
Why does the moon circle the earth?
The moon orbits the Earth due to the gravitational pull the two bodies have on each other.
Why do the moon and earth do not bump each other?
because the moon has an orbit that goes around the earth which is a path that the moon takes so it will not bump into any other planets
How is the earth and moon similar to each other?
Proximity to the Sun
What pulls the moon and earth towards each other?
magnent
What causes the moon to change it size and what effect does this have on earth?
The moon circles the Earth on a schedule that is approximately 28 days. As it does so the relationship between the Earth and the Sun changes and sunlight shines on different parts of the moon's surface, giving it a different appearance from Earth. Just as the Moon is attracted to Earth by gravity, the Earth too is attracted to the Moon. The oceans are affected by the Moon and the water rises toward the Moon, giving us tidal variations.
