The Earth's gravity holds the Moon in its orbit.
Yes, gravity exists in outer space. Gravity holds the moon in its orbit around the earth. It holds the earth in orbit around the sun. It holds the milky way galaxy together. It holds the local group of galaxies together. And the local group of galaxies might be a group of a string of galaxies held together by the great attractor.
The Earth and the moon form a system together. Solar eclipse is an event in which the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun and the moon's shadow falls on Earth.
The orbital path of the moon and gravitational attraction between the moon and the earth keep it up there where it is supposed to be.
Luna (Earth's Moon)
The Earth's gravity holds the Moon in its orbit.
Electrons produce a magnetic force that holds earth together and trees

the gravitational force holds its atmosphere together

The Chemical Composition of the Earth's atmosphere is important because it holds the Earth together.
No, the Earth and the Moon revolve together around the Sun. (The Moon orbits the Earth and both orbit the Sun together.)
The moon orbits the earth and together the earth and the moon orbits the sun. Together the solar system orbits the center of the milkyway (where it is thought to be a black hole).
the earths gravity holds the moon so it orbits the earth.
The moon maintains its orbit due to the balance between the earth's gravity and the moon's inertia.
It is not presently known for certain that the moon causes earthquakes, but it is likely that the moon does have, at least, some effect. The moon has gravity of its own, and the pull of this gravity reaches out to earth as the moon orbits the earth, reducing the effect of earth's gravity over the portion of the earth that is directly under a moon. Earth's gravity is what holds the planet together -- it holds the atmosphere in place, the oceans on the crust, the crust on the mantle and keeps the mantle and core in place. This small but continuous tug on the Earth can cause resettling and friction within the earth, which can create earthquakes, especially in constant motion as the Moon is in orbit of the earth. The Moon has quakes of its own (the Apollo program left seismology instruments on the Moon to measure this), and it is believed some of the deep moonquakes are caused by Earth's tidal effects on the Moon.
Yes, the moon helps to keep our orbit stable. We'd be in trouble, over the long term, anyway, without the moon. the moon also helps the tide move in and out, so without the moon, no surfing
