it actually kinda doesn't. the moon was part of earth many million years ago and is getting farther and farther away each year. it goes around because the earth still has a big pull on the moon.
Earth's gravitational pull. See attached link for more information.
Correct! The force of gravity between the Earth and the Moon acts as a centripetal force, keeping the Moon in its orbit around the Earth. This balance between gravity and the Moon's inertia allows it to continuously move in a circular path around the Earth.
The moon stays close to Earth due to gravity. The gravitational force between Earth and the moon keeps them in orbit around each other. This balance of gravitational forces prevents the moon from drifting away from Earth.
The moon orbits Earth.
The moon stays in orbit around Earth due to the gravitational force between the two bodies. This force keeps the moon moving in a curved path around Earth, preventing it from flying off into space. The balance between the moon's forward motion and Earth's gravitational pull maintains its stable orbit.
The moon stays in orbit around the Earth due to the gravitational pull between the two bodies. This gravitational force keeps the moon moving in a curved path around the Earth, balancing the pull of gravity with the moon's inertia to maintain its orbit.
I have no clue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I hope this helps alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For a period of time it stayed in lunar orbit, however, that orbit eventually decayed and the ascent stage crashed onto the moon.
the moon orbits around the planet, not the other way around; gravity keeps it orbiting

Gravity, just like our moon. gravity pulls it around
I don't think you understand the gravity of this situation!!
Because they're in the gravitational pull of the sun known as orbit
You know that the earth does that, right ?Well, if the moon didn't keep up with us and orbit the sun too, there would be no way thatit could always stay just about the same distance from us.So yes, the moon definitely does orbit the sun.
Io, Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa stay in orbit with Jupiter cause Jupiter has a strong gravitational pull on celestial bodies around it.
The moon stays close to Earth due to gravity. The gravitational force between Earth and the moon keeps them in orbit around each other. This balance of gravitational forces prevents the moon from drifting away from Earth.
