Orbiting bodies are held together by the mutual force of gravitation between them.
Without gravity, the moon would go sailing away in a straight line, and would never
be seen again. Similarly, the earth would go sailing away from the sun.
The Earth and moon maintain their mutual orbital relationship because of the
mutual forces of gravitation between them.
At the same time, the center of mass of the Earth/Moon pair maintains its orbital
relationship with the sun because of the mutual forces of gravitation between the
Earth/Moon pair and the sun.
The Earth and Moon keep in orbit due to a balance between gravity (from the Sun or the Earth) and inertia (due to the Earth's velocity around the Sun or the Moon's velocity around the Earth). Therefore, the Earth does not smash into the Sun, nor does it fly out to outer space.
The mutual gravitational attraction between the earth and moon.
The same phenomenon is responsible for the stable, closed orbits of all the planets, asteroids,
and comets in their travels around the sun,
Gravity attracts the moon toward the Earth, and the moon's angular momentum pulls in the opposite direction. With gravity alone, the moon would crash into the Earth, and with angular momentum alone the moon would fly away into outer space. But in combination, these produce an orbit.
Your answer about how the moon stays in it's orbit is half correct. You indicate it's because of gravity. Gravity is the "pull" (or +) force coming from the earth but there are TWO forces in balance required to keep the moon in orbit: an equal and opposite force that I call "energy" or (-). Without BOTH in Balance (0), the moon would crash into the earth. Same with the sun, stars, electrons and all of the bodies in the Universe of Light.
Mathematically:
(+) + (-) = 0
where Zero represents Balance and NOT "nothing" as in the world of "things" there cannot be "no-thing"…
There is the mathematical proving of the Unified Field Theory!
The gravitational pull from the earth keep the moon in its orbit.
- Well, that's the short (to the point answer). Using the example of our moon and Earth to show the relationship between them. Here is the long explanation explaining in detail how Gravity and Orbit really works in the link. More information can be obtained by going to the web-page through the "Related links" section below.

The Moon orbits the Earth. (The Earth and the Moon orbit the Sun together.)
What keeps the Moon in its orbit (or orbits) is gravity.
Let's think about the Moon orbiting the Earth:
1) The Moon has a "sideways" velocity. Scientists call this velocity "tangential" to the Moon's orbit.
2) The gravitational force between Earth and Moon tries to pull the Moon
towards the Earth.
These two things combine to make the Moon go in a curved path, its orbit.
( You need to do some mathematics really to show exactly how it works.)
Gravitational Pull is the force that keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth.
Answer #1:YES======================Answer #2:No
Full Moons and New Moons are "eclipse season", since eclipses happen only at those times. They are the times when the sun earth and moon are closest to being in a straight line. So the tidal effects of the moon and the sun are working together. The sun's tidal effects on the earth are not very strong compared to the moon's, but they do have the effect of adding to the lunar tides as these times.

The Moon doesn't do any work; it is in free-fall around the Earth under the influence of gravity. The full moon is perhaps more useful than other phases, but the waxing crescent is the most beautiful.
Any force can produce work if it causes displacement. If displacement is in opposite direction of force, work done will be negative and if displacement is in direction of force work done will be positive. If there is no displacement, work done is zero. Eg: Gravitational force pulls you down towards earth, in pulling you down it does work on you which gets stored in form of potential energy. Energy for A+
No.
the earth revolves around the sun...that's how we have night and day
no........not really:)
Answer #1:YES======================Answer #2:No
Absolutely correct answer= "the four seasons"
The shade of the earth on the moon is what causes the gibbous moon.
NO. The gravity of Earth, in conjunction with the inertia of the satellite, keeps the satellite revolving around Earth. However, the satellite doesn't get any nearer to the Earth. So, according to the laws of physics, no work is done. (I'm ignoring the fact that satellites sometimes lose height and need to be "boosted" a bit to maintain their orbits. Also, I'm assuming that the satellite's orbit is circular. If the orbit is elliptical the answer is more or less the same, but a bit more complicated.)
We would have to know the masses of the Earth and the Moon to figure that out. But I will tell you this: The minimum work done is the energy needed to get the spaceship to the point between the Earth and the Moon where the gravitational influences of the two celestial objects cancel each other. After it passes this point, the spaceship will be pulled towards the Moon by the Moon's gravitational attraction, thus eliminating the need to push the spaceship further.
it would not work because it is not done to the propper scale but it still may not work even to the propper scale
No. This description does not quite work becomes the moon is not a planet; it is a moon.
No because the Moon does not have a magnetic field like the Earth does. The Earth's magnetic field appears to be created by a liquid metalic out core circulating around a solid core. This works like a dynamo which creates the magnetic field around the Earth. The Moon lacks a similar core stucture. This is also the reason why the Monn has no atmosphere.A magnetic compass would not work on the moon, for the moon does not have the magnetic field that the earth has, allowing us to use this device.No, because moon does not have magnetic force like earth
