The Moon is in synchronous rotation with the Earth, which means it rotates on its axis in exactly the same time it takes to orbit the Earth, so one side permanently faces the Earth and the other side permanently faces away. The Moon orbits the Earth as a result of the mutual gravitational force of attraction between them.
Strictly speaking, the Moon isn't revolving around the Earth per se; rather, both the Moon and the Earth are revolving around a mutual point, known as the barycenter. Because the Earth so much more massive than the Moon, the barycenter of the Earth-Moon system is actually within Earth's crust.
The orbit of the moon around the sun is a wiggle around the Earth's orbit - because the moon is locked into the Earth's gravitational grasp.
The angle of the moon's orbit around the Earth was set by the collision that formed the moon.
The moon revolves around the Earth and the Earth revolves around the sun. The moon does not revolve around the sun.
The earth and the other planets as well as asteroids all revolve around the sun like the moon and artificial satellites revolve around the earth.
The period of time it takes the moon to revolve once around the earth is about a month. It takes approximately 27.3 days, which results in different phases of the moon.

because or the gravity of the moon and earth
It will take the moon 27.32 days to revolve around the earth.
No, the moon does not revolve around the sun. The Earth does though. You might be getting confused because the moon revolves around the Earth.
It take 27.32 days for the moon to revolve around the earth. At the same time, the Earth and moon revolve as a bound pair around the sun every 365.25 days.
The moon does BOTH.
It takes the Moon about 27 1/2 days to revolve once around Earth.
The moon revolves around the Earth and the Earth revolves around the sun. The moon does not revolve around the sun.
Yes
As the Moon revolves around the Earth, the time taken to revolve around the Sun is the same as the Earth ~365.25 days or one year.
The moon revolves and rotates around the Earth
Because of gravity.
The Moon orbits the Earth.
