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.
Does the earth orbit around the sun and moon?
No. The moon revolves around Earth, and Earth revolves around the sun.
When the moon rotates around the sun what happens to the moon?
The Moon does not orbit the Sun; it orbits the Earth. The Earth orbits the Sun.
How is moon different than a planet?
The moon orbits the planet Earth rather than the sun, so it is considered a moon.
Does the sun and moon spin around the earth?
No, the Earth and the Moon revolve together around the Sun. (The Moon orbits the Earth and both orbit the Sun together.)
What force is responsible for the moon orbiting around the earth and earth orbiting around the sun?
The force of gravity causes the moon to orbit the Earth, and the Earth to orbit the sun.
Can the moon orbit around the sun?
The moon does orbit the Sun. Locked in orbit around the Earth, as the Earth orbits the Sun, the moon orbits the Sun.
What causes the moon to orbit earth and earth to revolve around the sun?
Gravity
What causes the moon to orbit the sun?
Nothing does.Simply because the moon does not orbit the sun.The moon orbits Earth, not the sun. And Earth orbits the sun.Gravity is what causes planets and moons to orbit.
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.

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 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 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.
