The force of gravity.
The force of gravity causes the moon to orbit the Earth, and the Earth to orbit the sun.
The force of gravity.
Yes, the Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other. This force is responsible for the Moon orbiting around the Earth.

Force? As in The Force from Star Wars? Or a gravitation force? Care to explain?
while the earth is orbiting the sun the moon is orbiting the earth
The gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon is responsible for keeping the Moon in orbit around the Earth. This force acts as a centripetal force, pulling the Moon towards the Earth and keeping it in a stable orbit.
The force that keeps the moon in orbit around the sun is the gravitational force between the sun and the moon. This force causes the moon to continuously fall towards the sun but its orbital motion prevents it from colliding with the sun.
The Moon is orbiting a planet; It is orbiting the Earth. The velocity /acceleration of the Moon and the gravitational pull between Earth and Moon are in balance, so the Moon remains orbiting the Earth. Similarly the Earth and Moon , as a binary system, orbit the Sun , and the acceleration and gravitational forces are in balance. So none of us collide.
Gravitational Force is responsible for keeping the moon in the orbit around Earth.
One moon is orbiting Earth and that is called The Moon.
