Their relative motion keeps them from crashing into one another while their mutual gravitational attraction keeps them from flying apart. Having said that, the moon is slowly drifting away so it is wrong to say that the two are kept in their respective orbits.
The moon with the specific name 'The Moon' orbits planet Earth.
The Moon is the planetary body that orbits the Earth.
Both orbits are elliptical in shape, with Earth orbiting the sun in approximately 365 days and the moon orbiting Earth in about 27.3 days. Both orbits are influenced by gravitational forces that maintain their motion around their respective central bodies.
The moon orbits Earth.
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.
The moon orbits the earth. It is 238855 miles away from earth.
That varies depending on where Mercury, the Earth, and the Moon are in their respective orbits.
The influence that keeps the Earth and the Moon in their respective orbits is gravity. Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects with mass, such as the Earth and the Moon, that keeps them moving in their paths around each other.
That varies depending on where Mercury, the Earth, and the Moon are in their respective orbits.
The Earth orbits around the Sun, while the Moon orbits around the Earth. The Sun remains stationary at the center of our solar system, while both Earth and Moon move in elliptical paths around their respective orbits.
The moon with the specific name 'The Moon' orbits planet Earth.
The Earth orbits around the Sun, while the moon orbits around the Earth.
The sun does not orbit around the moon. The earth orbits the sun and the earths moon (every planet has 1 or more moons) orbits earth.
The moon IS a satellite that orbits earth
The moon orbits the earth almost a complete circle.
The Moon is the planetary body that orbits the Earth.
The Moon orbits the Earth, the Earth orbits the Sun
