Why does a spaceship orbit around earth?

How do spaceships leave the moon?

Well, the whole spaceship doesn't land on the moon. When the spaceship begins to orbit the moon when it gets there, one part separates off and makes a descent onto the ground and lands.

Then, it's really a complicated process, they reconnect and set off for earth.
