The moon does pull the earth. All bodies affect others according to their mass and distance
All the time. (The moon is actually orbiting around the Earth, which is orbiting around the sun)
because the moon has an orbit that goes around the earth which is a path that the moon takes so it will not bump into any other planets
-- The earth and moon both orbit their "common center of mass" ... the point between them where the pivot of the see-saw would have to be in order for them to balance each other. -- Since the earth's mass is about 80 times as much as the moon's mass, that point has to be 80 times farther from the center of the moon than it is from the center of the earth. -- The result is that their "common center of mass" is actually inside the earth. So if you're watching the pair from the outside and you're not measuring too closely, you'd swear that the moon is going around the earth, and you wouldn't notice that the earth is also slightly wiggling. -- By the way ... People often ask "Does the moon orbit the sun or the earth ?" That "common center of mass" of the earth-moon pair is actually the thing that's in orbit around the sun, while the earth and moon are both orbiting it.
The moon orbits the earth. How do we know the earth doesn't orbit the moon? The planet with the bigger mass, therefore stronger gravity, is the one controlling the other, so since the earth is bigger than the moon, the moon orbits the earth, not vice versa. It's best to think of the Earth and Moon as one system. Each body attracts the other, in accordance with Newton's Law of Gravitation. Earth and Moon orbit around their common "center of mass". Because the Earth has about 80 times the mass of the Moon, this center of mass is actually inside the surface of the Earth.
The moon is Earth's natural satellite and is not next to any other planet in our solar system. It orbits around Earth.

The moon orbits the Earth instead of the Sun because of the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon. This gravitational force keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth, rather than being pulled towards the Sun.
the moon's gravitional pull on earth decreases with the moon distance from earth
The moon circles around the earth; the earth circles around the sun.
Because the gravity of a larger object pulls the smaller ones toward them.
It's stuck in the Earth gravitaional pull.Another answer:Because the Earth has a gravitational pull on the moon. Actually, the Earth and moon revolve around each other common center of gravity. Without the Earth in it's way the moon would just head off in a straight line. Instead, as the moon tries to move away, the Earth does two remarkable things. One, it pulls the moon towards Earth, and two, the Earth moves out of the moon's way.
The moon and the earth both revolve around their common center of mass.
The Earth doesn't orbit the Moon, and the Moon doesn't orbit the Earth; instead, both of them orbit their common center of mass, the "barycenter". The barycenter of the Earth-Moon system is INSIDE the Earth - so the Moon is a satellite of the Earth, not the other way around. If the barycenter of the Earth-Moon system were outside of the Earth, in space between them, then technically they would be "co-planets", not a planet and a moon.
Moon revolves around Earth, Earth revolves around Sun.
You see Earth's revolution around the sun.. the moon revolves around the Earth, not the other way around.
It orbits around Earth because of the mutual gravitational forces between the Earth and the Moon, which attract them to each other.
