The Moon orbits around the Earth. Since the Earth also orbits around the Sun, and the Sun orbits around the Milky Way, and etc. and etc., the Moon's path in space is quite complex.

answ2. The earth and the Moon are a coupled energy system that rotates. Coupled to each other by their force of gravity, and due to their individual motions, the energy of their motion exactly balances out the gravity force.

A similar relationship exists between the Earth/Moon system and the Sun.

The source of their rotations arises from the net spin these bodies had when they were assembled from space material.

The early Earth had a gentle brush with a planet called Theia, about the size of Mars. Earth and the Moon reassembled themselves from the debris of this collision. The net spin is what we are left with.

What was the reason when the moon move if force of gravity suddenly disappeared and moon move if inertia suddenly disappeared?

If gravity suddenly disappeared, the moon would fly out into space in a straight line. If the moon suddenly stopped moving it would fall straight into Earth.


What is a scientific theory about how objects move in space?

The reason object move around space is inertia. Take the moon and Earth for example, gravity makes the moon stay close to the Earth, and inertia makes the moon circle (or revolve, or orbit) around the Earth in a circular motion. the path it takes is called its orbit.


What forces causes the sun to move in space?

it don't move, the Earth spins that is making the sun look like it is moving same thing with the moon.


How the sun earth and moon move around in space?

Everything is held together by the Suns gravity , so it stays in orbit.
