Would there be gravity on earth if there was no moon orbiting it?

Does the earth's gravity make the moons gravity?
No it doesn't, earth's gravity is only making the moon orbiting the earth not give the moon gravity.
What is the force for the moon orbiting the earth?
Gravity
What force is responsible for the moon orbiting earth and earth orbiting the sun?
The force of gravity.
Why does the moon move across the sky?
because the Earth is rotating and the Moon is orbiting the Earth by gravity
What force is responsible for the moon orbiting around the earth and earth orbiting around the sun?
The force of gravity causes the moon to orbit the Earth, and the Earth to orbit the sun.
what forces act upon the moon as it is orbiting earth?
Gravity hold the moon in orbit
What force keeps the moon in orbit around the sun?
The force of gravity that they exert on each other, and the velocities of the Moon and Earth which is their "inertia".
What force keeps a moon from orbiting a planet?
The Moon is orbiting a planet; It is orbiting the Earth. The velocity /acceleration of the Moon and the gravitational pull between Earth and Moon are in balance, so the Moon remains orbiting the Earth. Similarly the Earth and Moon , as a binary system, orbit the Sun , and the acceleration and gravitational forces are in balance. So none of us collide.
What force is responsible for orbiting motions of the sun moon and earth?
The force of gravity.
Do the earth and the moon orbit the sun since the moon orbits the earth and the earth the sun?
Yes, while the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon carries on orbiting the Earth, as it is not as affected by the distant gravity of the Sun as it is by the nearer gravity of Earth.
What two opposing forces keep the moon from orbiting?
None. The moon orbits the Earth, Earth orbits the Sun. Inertia and the gravity keep the moon in the Earth's orbit.
What is the moon doing while earth is orbiting the sun?
while the earth is orbiting the sun the moon is orbiting the earth
