Yes, if a planetary object entered our solar system (like a massive massive comet), travelled close to the moon on its journey through and was big enough to beat the earth's gravitational pull and drag the moon away

What is the moon doing while earth is orbiting the sun?
while the earth is orbiting the sun the moon is orbiting the earth
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 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.
Why does the moon move across the sky?
because the Earth is rotating and the Moon is orbiting the Earth by gravity
Moon is to satellite as earth is to What?
If the Moon is to a satellite, then Earth is to a planet. The Moon is a natural satellite orbiting Earth, just like artificial satellites orbit Earth. Similarly, planets are natural satellites orbiting stars, like Earth orbits the Sun.
What is the moon doing while earth is orbiting the sun?
while the earth is orbiting the sun the moon is orbiting the earth
How may moons are orbiting the planet earth?
One moon is orbiting Earth and that is called The Moon.
What is in orbit with the Earth?
The moon. The earth is in orbit around the sun, but the moon goes with it, orbiting the earth directly and orbiting the sun indirectly.
Is there any moon on earth?
There is no moon on Earth, but there is one orbiting it; we call it the moon.
Is the moon on top of the sun?
No, it is orbiting our Earth, which is orbiting our Sun.
What force is responsible for the moon orbiting earth and earth orbiting the sun?
The force of gravity.
What is Name of the largest satellite orbiting earth?
The largest satellite orbiting the Earth is the Moon.
Where have human been in the solar system outside of earth?
-- orbiting the Earth -- coasting on a trajectory between the Earth and the Moon -- orbiting the Moon -- the surface of the Moon That's IT ... the complete list.
How many moons are in the earth?
There is no moon IN the Earth. There is one moon ORBITING AROUND Earth.
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 is the largest natural satellite orbiting the earth?
The only natural satellite orbiting Earth is the moon.
What takes longer to orbit the Sun the Moon or the Earth?
Technically, the moon isn't orbiting the sun. The moon is orbiting the Earth that is orbiting the sun. I guess someone should have paid more attention in elementary school!!!
