That would be it's orbit. The moon orbits the earth in roughly a circular path.
the moon travels around the earth,and the earth travels around the sun
It doesn't ! The moon travels around the earth !
The gravitational attraction of the earth on the moon. The ellipse including a circle indicates a captured orbit. If the moon was not captured it could travel the path of a parabola or Hyperbola.
There are no planets that travel around the moon. The moon travels around Earth.
A circle?
Yes Yes Because the Moon is in Earth's Gravitational Pull.
As the moon orbits the Earth, the force of gravity acting upon the moon provides the centripetal force required for circular motion.
The gravitational pull of the Earth pulls the moon toward us, but the inertia of the moon makes it want to travel in a straight path, the result is that it travels in a circle around us called an orbit.
It takes the Moon 27.322 days to go around the Earth once.
The orbit of the Moon around the Earth is elliptical. An ellipse is a flattened circle, much like an oval. The Moon takes just under a month to revolve around the Earth. Looking down on the Earth above the North Pole, the Moon revolves counterclockwise around the Earth, which is the same direction that the Earth rotates on its axis.An ellipse. Very close to a circle though.Unlike many other moons, the Earth's moon follows an elliptical orbit.
The moon travels around the Earth in approximately 27 days and 7 hours, which is known as its sidereal period. This is the time it takes for the moon to complete one orbit around the Earth relative to the background stars.
The Moon's orbital speed is greatest when it is at its closest approach to the Earth.
