All closed orbits are the result of mutual gravitational forcesbetween the central body and the satellite.In other words: Gravity .The Moon orbits Earth rather than falling into it, of course. That's because theMoon has a velocity (roughly "sideways" to the gravitational force). The Moon'svelocity, combined with gravity, results in the orbital path of the Moon.
The moon orbits the Earth due to the gravitational pull the two bodies have on each other.
the moon has a gravitational pull that, when it orbits around earth, pulls the water on earth with it.
The mutual force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and Sun.
False. The sun does exert a gravitational force on the moon.
The moon orbits the Earth because it is close enough to the Earth to be captured by the Earth's gravitational field. Both the Earth and the moon orbit the sun, together. The sun is by far the largest and heaviest object in the solar system, and it has the strongest gravitational field, therefore everything in the solar system orbits the sun.
Since the Earth is so much larger, it has a greater gravitational pull. The moon orbits the Earth because of this pull.
Moon, due to gravitational pull
Causes Earth's centripetal Acceleration........ WHS AOEC
Planets and moons remain in their orbits because of the gravitational pull other bigger planets or stars have on them, for example the Earth stays in its orbit because of the gravitational force it is subjects to created by the Sun, and the moon stays in its orbit because of the gravitational force it is subject to created by the Earth. It's all about gravity and force.
Just as the moon orbits the earth because of the earth's gravitational pull, the moon has its own gravitational pull. While it isn't enough to greatly affect the Earth's movement, it does affect the earth's oceans.
The balancing of the gravitational pull of the Earth and the Sun.
False. The sun does exert a gravitational force on the moon.
The Sun does exert a gravitational influence on the Moon, but the influence of the Earth is much greater.

Mainly because we are in "free fall" around the Sun. In such situations, gravity won't be noticed. Also, Earth's gravitational force is much stronger, anyway, because Earth is much closer.
Moon also revolve. Earth revolve round the sun and moon revolve round the earth.
