Well, when we look up at the beautiful moon in the sky, we might not realize that its gravitational pull is actually about 1/6th as strong as the Earth's. So, if you were standing on the moon, you would feel much lighter than you do here on Earth. Isn't that just marvelous?

Is the pull of gravity between the moon and the earth keeps the moon orbiting the earth?

Yes, the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Moon is what keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth. This gravitational force is what causes the Moon to travel in a curved path around the Earth rather than moving off into space.


Are tides higher when the moon was full?

yes because the earth and the moon push and pull with there gravitational pulls. and when the moon is full it has a stronger gravitational pull


How is the moon held in its orbit round the earth?

The moon is held in its orbit around the Earth by gravitational forces. The gravitational pull of the Earth keeps the moon in its orbit, while the moon's own motion and inertia prevent it from falling into the Earth. This delicate balance of forces results in the moon continuously orbiting the Earth.
