It does! or more precisely, both revolve around the Moon - Earth barycenter which, because the Moon is only 1/80 as massive as the Earth is under the surface of the Earth (but still almost 5000 km from the Earth's center of gravity) It is this point, the barycenter which orbits the Sun.

What else can I help you with?
Does the moon give light to the earth?
Yes, the Moon reflects sunlight towards the Earth, which is why we see it as a source of light in the night sky. The Moon itself does not emit light, but rather reflects it from the Sun.
Is it true that earth's gravity pulls the moon toward it?
Yes, Earth's gravity does pull the Moon towards it. The force of gravity between the Earth and the Moon is what causes the Moon to orbit around the Earth. The Moon's motion is a balance between its inertia trying to move in a straight line and the gravitational force pulling it towards Earth.
Does earth's gravity pull the moon outward?
No, the Earth's gravity pulls the moon in towards Earth.
What happens to the amount of light reflected by the moon to the earth as it turns towards the sun?
it is because of this reflected light you can clearly see the moon
How are falling apples and the moon orbit of the moon alike?
They are both falling as a constant acceleration towards the earth
Why does the moon orbit us?
because the earth's gravity is pulling the moon towards itself just like earth gets pulled by the sun with the help of its gravity
What is the acceleration of the moon towards the earth?
The acceleration of the moon towards the earth is approximately 0.0027 m/s2.
Does the moon give light to the earth?
Yes, the Moon reflects sunlight towards the Earth, which is why we see it as a source of light in the night sky. The Moon itself does not emit light, but rather reflects it from the Sun.
When at new moon the lighted half of the moon faces away or towards the earth?
the lighted half is facing towards the sun not the earth
Is the moon falling towards the earth?
No, the moon is not falling towards the Earth. It is actually moving away from our planet at a very slow rate.
Is it true that earth's gravity pulls the moon toward it?
Yes, Earth's gravity does pull the Moon towards it. The force of gravity between the Earth and the Moon is what causes the Moon to orbit around the Earth. The Moon's motion is a balance between its inertia trying to move in a straight line and the gravitational force pulling it towards Earth.
Does the earth attract the moon with a force that is greater or smaller or the same as the force with which the moon attracts the earth?
In a gravitational situation, the forces are exactly equal in both directions.-- The Earth attracts the moon with a force that is exactly the same as the forcewith which the moon attracts the Earth.-- You attract the Earth with exactly the same amount of force as the Earth attracts you.-- Your weight on Earth is exactly the same as the Earth's weight on you.
Do inertia pull the moon towards the earth?
No, inertia is trying to keep the moon moving in a straight line, which would be away from Earth. Gravity is pulling the moon towards Earth. The result when these two forces are combined is the moon maintaining a constant orbit of Earth.
What keeps the moon from shooting out into space?
The gravitational pull of the earth. Gravity from the Earth pulls the moon towards it.
Draw a free body diagram for the moon?
If you mean the Moon's movement around the Earth, the Earth's gravitation pulls the Moon towards the Earth. There is no opposing force that acts on the Moon (otherwise, the Moon wouldn't accelerate towards the Earth, i.e., change its direction).
Earth's pull makes the moon revolve around it.Does the moon also pull the earth?
Sure, according to Newton's Third Law, the Moon must also attract the Earth. Actually, saying that the Moon revolves around the Earth is only an approximation. it is more accurate to state that Earth and Moon revolve around the common center of mass.Sure, according to Newton's Third Law, the Moon must also attract the Earth.

How can the Moon's gravitational pull be observed on earth?
The tides are caused by the moon's gravitational pull. The moon pulls the water towards it. The moon also pulls the earth towards it, but just a bit less, so there is a bulge(the tide) in the Earth's ocean's on the side nearest the moon and on the side farthest from the moon.
