It is closer
Even though the Earth has significantly less mass than the Sun, the Moon orbits the Earth because it is much closer to it. The gravitational force that governs these orbits depends not only on mass but also on distance; the closer an object is to a massive body, the stronger the gravitational pull it experiences. Therefore, despite the Sun's greater mass, the Moon is more strongly influenced by Earth's gravity due to its proximity. This results in the Moon maintaining a stable orbit around the Earth.
because of the way the earth orbits
The moon is considered a natural satellite of Earth because it orbits around Earth as part of Earth's gravitational system. Satellites are typically objects that orbit around a larger celestial body, like a planet, in this case, the moon orbits around Earth.
The moon with the specific name 'The Moon' orbits planet Earth.
The moon causes larger tides than the sun, even though the sun is much larger than the moon, because the moon is tremendously closer to the Earth than the sun is.
Since the Earth is so much larger, it has a greater gravitational pull. The moon orbits the Earth because of this pull.

The moon orbits the Earth because of the gravitational pull of the Earth, not because it is closer to the Earth. The force of gravity depends on mass, so the more massive object (in this case, the Earth) has a greater gravitational pull on the smaller object (the Moon). This gravitational force keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth.
Because it orbits the earth
Gravity. The moon orbits the earth because the moon is stuck in earths gravational pull.
Because that is what it does, it orbits the earth.
no.
Because of Earth's Tilt.
earth has day because it orbits the sun while it revolves on its axis.
Because that is what it does, it orbits the earth.
Because it orbits earth
this is because, the moon orbits the earth and goes around is.
