No, as the earth is of a larger mass and has a stronger gravitational pull, the moon orbits the earth. The earth then orbits the sun. Kinda. In fact, the earth and moon each orbit a common point called the barycenter. If the earth and moon were of equal size and mass, it's easy to see that they would orbit around each other, or more correctly, they would each orbit around their center of gravity-- a point mid-way between them. As you imagine one of the objects getting less massive, the center of gravity moves toward the more massive one. In the case of our earth-moon system, the center, also called barycenter, happens to be within the earth! But there is still an orbital component for the earth, and you would observe this as a wobble if you could observe earth from the right reference frame.
What else can I help you with?
Does the moon orbit Earth or does the Earth orbit the moon?
The moon orbits Earth.
What is it called when the moon moves around the earth?
This is called its orbit. Strictly, the moon and the earth both orbit their common centre of mass. The path of the moon around Earth is elliptical orbit. It takes about 29 days to complete one orbit of earth by moon.
Why is a month about 28 days long?

Can the moon orbit around the sun?
No, the moon orbits around the Earth, not the sun. This is due to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon. The moon's orbit around the Earth is what causes its phases and affects tides on Earth.
What is the movement of the moon around earth called?
The movement of the Moon around the Earth is called lunar orbit. It is an elliptical path that the Moon follows as it revolves around the Earth.

When does the moon orbit earth?
The moon is in constant orbit around the earth, all the time.
Do any moons orbit earth?
Yes. One moon orbit Earth (The moon)
Does the moon take to orbit the Earth?
