Can the moon orbit around the sun?
No, the moon orbits around the Earth, not the sun. This is due to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon. The moon's orbit around the Earth is what causes its phases and affects tides on Earth.
Does the moon orbits or circles the sun?
The Moon orbits the Sun. The gravitation of the Earth will provide slight disturbances to the Moon's orbit around the Sun, but mainly, the Moon moves around the Sun.The Moon orbits the Sun.

What causes the moon to orbit around the sun?
the moon doesent orbit the sun, the earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits the earth.
Is the earths orbit around the sun a cause of the phases of the moon?
No. The moon's orbit around the earth is.
Is the moon's orbit the same as the earths orbit around the sun?
not quite. The moon circles the Earth, which circles the sun. So the moon's orbit around the sun isn't a smooth track, but consist of a wave like pattern.
How many years does it take for the moon to go around the sun?
The moon goes around the earth. The earth goes around the sun in a year. So, for purposes of astronomy, the earth and moon are one unit going around the sun. Therefore the moon goes around the sun in one year.
Is the earth's natural satellite the sun?
no, the moon is the Earths natural satellite, the moon is in orbit around the Earth. The whole Earth/Moon system is then in orbit around the sun.
Does the earth orbit around the sun and moon?
No. The moon revolves around Earth, and Earth revolves around the sun.
Does moon travel in orbit?
Yes. The Moon travels in orbit around the Earth, at the same time that the Earth travels in orbit around the Sun, at the same time that the Sun travels in orbit around the Milky Way, etc.
Why doesn't the moon orbit around the sun like the earth does?
The moon does orbit the sun. The moon orbits round the earth, while both earth and the moon orbits round the sun.
How long does moon rotate the sun?
The Moon does not rotate around the Sun independently; rather, it orbits the Earth, and together they both orbit the Sun. The Moon takes approximately 27.3 days to complete one orbit around the Earth, and during this time, both the Earth and the Moon are moving in their respective orbit around the Sun. Thus, the Moon indirectly participates in the Earth's annual orbit around the Sun, which takes about 365.25 days.
How long does it take moon to revolve around the sun?
The moon revolves around its axis and it orbits the earth. The earth and the moon orbit the sun. Neither the earth nor the moon revolves around the sun; however, the two of them take 365 days to complete an orbit around the sun.
