Yes, force of gravity. That is why it orbits the earth rather than flying off in a straight line.

The moon orbits earth and not the sun because the sun doesn't exert a gravitional force on the moon True or False?
False. The sun does exert a gravitational force on the moon.
What force do the sun and the moon exert on the earth?
They exert Gravitational Force on each other. It is a force which is directly proportional to Mass of the object
Why is weight of objects different on the moon than on the earth?
Gravity on the moon is one-sixth of that on Earth, so you will exert less force on the moon.
Why is the weight of an object different on earth than on the moon?
Gravity on the moon is one-sixth of that on Earth, so you will exert less force on the moon.
Do The Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other?
Yes
Does Earth exert a contact or a non-contact force on the moon?
Earth exerts a non-contact force on the moon.
True or false The Moon orbits Earth and not the Sun because the Sun doesn't exert a gravitational force on the Moon?
False. The sun does exert a gravitational force on the moon.

Does the moon orbits earth and not the sun because the sun doesn't exert a gravitational force on the moon?
false
Why does the moon exert a lower gravitational force than the earth?
The moon is smaller than the Earth.Therefore it has a lower gravitational force. Don't you know this?
What force keeps the moon in orbit around the sun?
The force of gravity that they exert on each other, and the velocities of the Moon and Earth which is their "inertia".
If the moon were twice as far from the earth as it is now the gravitational force it exert on the earth would be?
half its present value
