Does the moon revolve around a planet?

Answer 1

A body which orbits a planet is called a moon.
Therefore, the moon is considered...well a 'moon'.
Another description given to bodies which orbits planets are called satellites. So you can also say that the moon is considered a satellite of earth (a natural satellite as opposed to a man made satellite)

Answer 2

No I think the sun is what that orbits around the Planets

Answer

Yes, moons of planets orbit around their respective planets. The Moon orbits Earth. Two peculiar asteroid-like moons orbit Mars. Jupiter is orbited by about 63 moons. The other gas planets all have many moons orbiting them each. Pluto itself, a dwarf planet, is possessed of an orbiting moon.

As planets and dwarf planets themselves orbit the Sun, it takes (by gravity) its own moons with it, all these moons continuing to orbit continuously around their home planets as they are raced around the Sun.

Answer 3

Objects revolve around other objects with a bigger gravitational force. So the sun (being by far the largest in our solar system) "attracts" planets so they revolve around it.

Moons revolve around planets, they don't revolve around the sun because the planet is close, let me explain:

Gravity is governed by 2 factors: Mass and distance.

The bigger the mass, the more gravitational force an object can "use"

Distance between the objects; the smaller the distants, the stronger the objects are pulled towards each other.

Never forget that gravity always works in -->2<-- directions; the sun attracts the earth, but the earth attracts the sun too.

So that the moons orbit around the planets is governed by these 2 factors

The earth is the closest and heaviest object near the moon, so the moon is pulled towards the earths, at the same time the moon is a very big and heavy object near the earth, so it pulls himself towards the earth.

Heres the formula:

Fg = G (m1*m2)/(d^2)

Fg= The gravitational force

G= The gravitational constant (the "rule" how much gravity a kg has .

M1 and M2 = the mass objects that attract each other

( G ( M1*M2) is just the mass (in kg) of the objects multiplied by the gravitational constant)

d= distance (in metres) between the 2 objects.

But the general answer: Yes planets orbit around the sun and moons orbit around planets.

Answer 4

No, the moon orbits the each and the Earth orbits the sun. The gravitaional pull from the Earth to the moon is greater than the pull from the moon to the sun.

For "each" read "Earth", but otherwise this answer shows quite clearly that both the Earth and the Moon orbit the sun, as a kind of happy couple.

Answer 5

No Earth as well as other planets in our solar system including the sun, rotate around the center of the galaxy. which is also known as the supermassive black hole.

Answer 6

The moon that we see in our night sky revolves

around the planet that we call "Earth".

Answer 7

Yes. The Earth is revolving around the Sun, whilst rotating around it's own axis.

Answer 8

No. The Moon revolves around the Earth, and the Earth (and the other planets) revolve around the Sun.

Answer 9

No. It orbits only earth. To be a planet it has to orbit the sun.

Answer 10

The moon revolves around the Earth, and the Earth revolves around the sun.
