Because Earth's gravity holds it in orbit. Earth is much closer so its gravity is stronger.
However, the moon does orbit the Sun, it simply orbits the Earth in addition to orbitting the Sun.
Yes, the Earth’s Moon does orbit the Sun, but it does so as a part of the Earth-Moon system. As the Earth travels along its orbit around the Sun, the Moon orbits the Earth, which means that both the Earth and the Moon are essentially moving together in their path around the Sun. Thus, in a broader perspective, the Moon indirectly orbits the Sun along with the Earth.
All the time. (The moon is actually orbiting around the Earth, which is orbiting around the sun)
The sun does not orbit around the moon. The earth orbits the sun and the earths moon (every planet has 1 or more moons) orbits earth.
The Moon actually orbits the Earth, which it does in 28 days, but if you consider the Earth and the Moon as a double system, then the Moon orbits the Sun once a year, just as the Earth does. The Moon is much closer to the Earth than the Earth and the Moon are to the Sun.
No. The moon orbits the Earth which orbits the Sun.
The moon orbits the Earth, which orbits the sun.
The Moon does not orbit the Sun; it orbits the Earth. The Earth orbits the Sun.
The moon orbits the Earth instead of the Sun because of the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon. This gravitational force keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth, rather than being pulled towards the Sun.
the moon doesent orbit the sun, the earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits the earth.
The moon orbits the Earth and the Earth orbits the Sun. So. . .the moon kind of orbits the Sun. Hope I helped! (The Moon doesn't obrit Mars!)
The Earth orbits around the Sun, while the moon orbits around the Earth.
The Earth orbits around the Sun, while the Moon orbits around the Earth. The Sun remains stationary at the center of our solar system, while both Earth and Moon move in elliptical paths around their respective orbits.
