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.

Does the earth move around the sun the moon or mars?

The earth moves around the sun it is yearly orbit of the sun. The earth and the moon actually move around each other, since they both orbit what is called the 'barycenter', the center of gravity of the earth-moon system. The barycenter is beneath the earth's surface, and moves in such a way that it is always in line with the moon's center of gravity and the earth's. This gives earth a slight wobble in its yearly orbit of the sun. The earth does not move around Mars.
