Gravitation force makes the Earth move around the sun and also makes the moon go around the Earth. Our weight is the gravitational force of the Earth acting on us. For example; the gravitational force of the moon is about one-sixth that of the Earth.
Well if the moon moves a bit the earth and tide pulls with it and if the sun moon and earth are all in the same position as in a spring tide it causes the tides to go really big.
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.
At a given distance from the Sun, only at a very specific spead will it go in an exact circle. And that perfect circle will soon be disturbed by gravitation from other planets, comets, etc.

The sun. The earth orbits the sun, the others all go around the earth.
no, the earth orbits around the sun
In most probability the earth would never have come into existence without the sun. However, if the sun had to disappear now, all life on earth would die very shortly, as everything on earth requiring it's energy would die. Everything that orbits the sun will go off track and possibly collide as there will be no gravitational pull from the sun.
The Sun doesn't go anywhere, the Earth is orbiting the Sun.
MOSTLY the first law: Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. This is not the only reason, there are also more. What happens is that in the case of the Earth orbiting the Sun, the Earth wants to go in a straight line tangent to its orbit at any given moment, but the reason why is goes in a "circle" is because the Sun's gravity is pulling the Earth toward it. The Earth doesn't plummet into the Sun because the balance between the Earth's velocity, the distance from the Earth to the Sun and the strength of the Sun's gravity.Newton's "law" of universal gravitation ... not one of the Big Three ... describesorbital shapes and motion, and generates all three of Kepler's Laws of planetarymotion.
Technically it is never totally free of the Earth's gravitation - it just becomes less and less influence by it as it gets further away.
The moon is moving (around the sun) IF the Earth's gravity suddenly stopped, the moon would continue to go around the sun. IF all gravity stopped, the moon would travel in a straight line in whatever direction it was going in at the time.
