Yes, they have gravity. In fact, anything that has mass will have a gravitational force - the more mass a body has, the more gravitational force it will exert.

What cause the moon orbit earth and earth to revolve around the sun?
sun's gravity pulls earth and earth pulls on the moon.
Are the tides on earth caused by the gravity?
Tides on Earth are caused by the gravity of the moon and, to a lesser degree, the sun.
How do Earth moon and sun interact?
Mainly through gravity.
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".
Why does the moon orbit us?
because the earth's gravity is pulling the moon towards itself just like earth gets pulled by the sun with the help of its gravity
Does the earth have less gravity than the sun and moon?
Earth has weaker gravity than the sun bu stronger gravity than the moon.
Do the earth and the moon orbit the sun since the moon orbits the earth and the earth the sun?
Yes, while the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon carries on orbiting the Earth, as it is not as affected by the distant gravity of the Sun as it is by the nearer gravity of Earth.
What cause the moon orbit earth and earth to revolve around the sun?
sun's gravity pulls earth and earth pulls on the moon.
What effect is caused by the Moon's gravity?
Earth's tides are caused by the Moon's gravity (in combination with the Sun's).
What keeps the earth in orbit around the sun and moon in orbit around earth?
The force of gravity and the inertia of the Earth (as it orbits the Sun). Also, gravity combined with the inertia of the Moon (as it orbits the Earth).
What keeps the moon in orbit around earth and earth in orbit around the sun?
The force of gravity and the inertia of the Earth (as it orbits the Sun). Also, gravity combined with the inertia of the Moon (as it orbits the Earth).
Does the sun's gravity keep the moon in orbit?
no the earth does
Why is there no gravity on moon?
There is gravity on the moon. Basically there is the gravity from the moon itself, which is (on the surface) about 1/10 of the gravity on the surface of the earth. Then there is the gravity of the earth, which makes the moon rotate around the earth (in one lunar month ~= 4 weeks). Lastly there is the gravity from the sun, which makes the earth + moon revolve around the sun in 1 year. Everything with mass has gravity, but it is only measurable on a human scale if the mass is as large as the moon or the earth. Even the gravity pull from your fat neighbor kid is minuscule.
Which pulls with greater force on the earth's oceans the sun or the moon?
The gravity from the Sun is more than the gravity from the Moon. However, the Moon has a greater effect on the tides.The gravity from the Sun is more than the gravity from the Moon.

Does the Moon's gravity cause water currents?
Not exactly. The Moon's gravity (together with the Sun's gravity) causes the tides on Earth.
The moon and sun revolve around the earth?
The moon revolves around the earth, and the earth revolves around the sun. The reason for this, simply, is gravity.
Moon orbits eath instead of the sun why?
Because Earth's gravity holds it in orbit. Earth is much closer so its gravity is stronger.However, the moon does orbit the Sun, it simply orbits the Earth in addition to orbitting the Sun.
