Gravity
Centripetal Force.
The force of gravity between the moon and the planet is what keeps the moon in orbit around the planet. This gravitational force prevents the moon from floating away into space and keeps it in a stable orbit.
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.

The moon is held in place by the gravitational pull of the Earth. This gravitational force keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth, preventing it from floating off into space. The balance between the motion of the moon and the gravitational force of the Earth keeps the moon in a stable orbit.
The gravitational force between the moon and Earth keeps the moon in orbit. This force pulls the moon towards Earth, but the moon's velocity allows it to continue moving in a circular path around the Earth.
Gravity
The force that keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth is gravity. Specifically, the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon is what keeps the moon in its elliptical orbit.
The gravitational pull of the planet that the moon orbits keeps it from leaving orbit. But the speed of its motion around the planet allows it to avoid being pulled in. Some orbits change over time, as the effects of gravity by other moons or planets can cause them to shift. In some cases, this results in moons being thrown out of their stable orbits. In other cases, a wandering asteroid may be captured by a planet's gravity and assume an orbit with the other moons.
the forse of gravity keeps it floating in space like the moon orbits our planet
A planet or moon bends toward the light due to the gravitational force of the sun or star, causing its orbit to curve. This bending of the path of the planet toward the light is what keeps it in orbit around the star.
The earth by its gravitational pull keeps the moon in its orbit. The earths gravitational pull and the Moon's inertia creates a force called the centripetal force which keeps the Moon in orbit.
