Gravity provides a centripetal force on the Moon, helping it stay in orbit around Earth. TRUE!!! -iRLANDA♥
The Earth's gravity holds the Moon in its orbit.
Yes, exactly.
The reason object move around space is inertia. Take the moon and Earth for example, gravity makes the moon stay close to the Earth, and inertia makes the moon circle (or revolve, or orbit) around the Earth in a circular motion. the path it takes is called its orbit.

The revolutionary movement of the natural satellite such as moon around the earth makes it stable in its orbit. This is similar to the stay of earth around the sun. Scientifically speaking the gravitational force of attraction between the earth and moon becomes the necessary centripetal force to keep it stay in its orbit. This centripetal force will be along the line joining the moon and the earth. This centripetal will be balanced by the centrifugal which acts away from the earth. This centrifugal force comes into the scene due to the inertia of direction.
You know that the earth does that, right ?Well, if the moon didn't keep up with us and orbit the sun too, there would be no way thatit could always stay just about the same distance from us.So yes, the moon definitely does orbit the sun.
Since the earth is larger than the moon it generates a more powerful magnetic field which pulls the moon towards the earth and causes it to orbit as the earth rotates on its axis, and the reason it stays in orbit is because the moon is moving fast enough to stay in orbit rather than be pulled into the earth yet it's not moving so fast that it will leave earths orbit.
the moon orbits around the planet, not the other way around; gravity keeps it orbiting
it actually kinda doesn't. the moon was part of earth many million years ago and is getting farther and farther away each year. it goes around because the earth still has a big pull on the moon.
They are put into orbit by shuttles and stay in orbit around the earth, like the moon. Since they are no longer affected by Earth's gravitational field, they will not naturally fall down to Earth.
