the earth travels around the sun in a roughly circular path because the sun's gravity is pulling on the earth. The earth does not fall in to the sun, because it is moving very fast, which gives it centripetal momentum.
Its kind of like a tether ball spinning around the pole. The rope represents the suns gravity pulling on the earth. When you hit the ball it goes around the pole in a circular path.
The moon circles the earth in the same way

Why doesn't the moon orbit around the sun like the earth does?
The moon does orbit the sun. The moon orbits round the earth, while both earth and the moon orbits round the sun.

Why doesn't the moon orbit around the sun like the earth does?
The moon does orbit the sun. The moon orbits round the earth, while both earth and the moon orbits round the sun.
What do planets do when they orbit the earth?
There are no planets orbiting the Earth because all eight of them orbit the Sun. But the Moon orbits the Earth, and all it does is go round and round in a rather complicated orbit which is disturbed by the Sun's gravity.
Can the moon orbit around the sun?

Does the Moon go round the Sun?
The moon rotates around the Earth, and as it does so the Earth is rotating around the sun. So yes, along with the Earth the moon does go around the sun.
Does the earth spin around the sun or moon?
The Earth neither spins round the Sun nor the Moon. The Earth rotates(spins) on it own axis, top give us night and day. The Moon revolves (orbits) round the Earth once a month (Moonth). The Earth and Moon, as a binary system revolve (orbit) round the Sun once a year. The Moon making 13 orbits of the Earth in once a year.
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.

Does the moon round the sun or the earth?
The moon rotates round the Earth.
How long for Moon to orbit Sun?
The Moon actually orbits the Earth, which it does in 28 days, but if you consider the Earth and the Moon as a double system, then the Moon orbits the Sun once a year, just as the Earth does. The Moon is much closer to the Earth than the Earth and the Moon are to the Sun.
Why does the moon orbit the sun?
it doesn't orbit the sun it orbits the earth
