What do you think that earth and the moon do not bump each other as they travel around sun?

because while they are within the suns gravitational field they are both being affected with the same pull so it would not cause them to crash into each other because they are orbiting in a separate system.
The Earth and Moon are both orbiting the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system.
In slightly simplified terms the Moon orbits the Earth.
That orbit is stable, so they keep their distance from each other.
The Earth-Moon system then orbits the Sun.

Why do you think that the earth and the moon do not bump each other as they travel around the sun?

Is The Earth Flat(For All The Idiots Out There)?
By watching as the Earth also rotates from that view, you can see that the Earth is a rotating sphere and is not flat. Image by NASA. Like the other planets, the Earth is a sphere. It rotates around its own axis slowly but continuously, and completes this rotation about once every 24 hours.

maybe but i think not
What do you think revolves the earth around the sun or the sun around the earth?
I think they both revolve around their common center of mass. Of course, since the sun's mass is so much greater than the Earth's their common center of mass is inside the sun, and it appears almost as if the Earth revolves around a stationary sun.
