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.

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.

Why does gravity hold moon with the earth?

Since the earth is larger than the moon it generates a more powerful magnetic field which pulls the moon towards the earth and causes it to orbit as the earth rotates on its axis, and the reason it stays in orbit is because the moon is moving fast enough to stay in orbit rather than be pulled into the earth yet it's not moving so fast that it will leave earths orbit.


Does the moon orbit Earth or does the Earth orbit the moon?

What is the relationship between the moon's velocity and its orbit around the Earth?

The moon's velocity affects its orbit around the Earth. The moon's velocity must be balanced with the gravitational pull of the Earth to maintain its orbit. If the velocity is too slow, the moon may fall towards the Earth; if it is too fast, the moon may move away from the Earth.
