Does Moon move due to Earth's gravity?

The Moon, in the absence of the Earth, would move in a straight line. Earth's pull at a given instant of time pulls the moon closer to Earth, the new direction of Moon now being the resultant of it's old motion and Earth's inward pull. The moon would then like to move in a straight line, but along this new direction, on account of its inertia as enunciated by Newton's first law, but the next instant, the Earth pulls again the moon a bit more. If you keep doing this exercise, you will realize that the Moon describes an ellipse. So, the answer to your question is yes and no, yes because Earth makes the Moon move around it in a particular way due to gravity, but the cause of the initial motion of the Moon till Earth got hold of it is probably is buried in the formation of the Solar System!

In what direction does the shadow of the moon move across the earth?

The shadow of the moon moves from west to east across the Earth during a solar eclipse. This occurs because the Earth rotates from west to east, causing the shadow created by the moon to travel in that direction as it crosses the surface. As a result, observers in the path of the eclipse see the shadow move across the landscape in the same west-to-east direction.


Why does the moon seem to move as you move?

The moon appears to move in the sky as you move because of its position relative to the Earth. As you change your viewpoint by moving, the angle at which you see the moon changes, causing it to appear to shift its position in the sky. In reality, the moon is staying in its orbit around the Earth.
