Best Answer

The moon orbits because of the gravitational pull from a plant. Planets move around the sun because. The lighter object orbits the heavier one, and the Sun is, by far, the heaviest object in the solar system.

The simple answer is YES!!!! Think of the Sun as the centre of the Solar System and the planets and moons orbit around the Sun. However, The Sun is a star in one of the tails of the Milky Way galaxy. The Milky Way, galaxy and its tails also rotate, taking our Sun and planets etc. with them. So the Sun is also moving too!!!!

Is the moon and sun a planet?

Neither the Sun nor the Moon are planets. Planets rotate around the Sun. Moons rotate around planets. There are other rules to explain the difference between planets and asteroids and comets which also rotate around the sun. Such as planets because of their strong gravitational field, clear objects in their rotation around the Sun, something a small asteroid, nor a small comet can do. However, neither the Sun (which planets rotate around), nor, the Moon (which rotates around the planet Earth), is a planet.
