It's able to slip in between the Earth and the sun, since the sun is about

390 times farther away from us than the moon is, and the space between the

Earth and the sun is wide enough for about 35,000 moons to squeeze through.

It's a lot like how the Space Shuttle or a TV satellite is able to revolve around the

Earth without crashing into the moon. Also, how an Indy car is able to do qualifying

laps around the track without crashing into the Empire State Building.

If the moon did not rotate around Earth, it would likely drift away from our planet due to gravitational forces. This rotation is what keeps the moon in a stable orbit around Earth.
