Moons orbit their planets, and they maintain stable orbits through gravity and their own orbital velocities. The moon is moving away from the earth at a very slow rate due to tidal effects. This will not be observable for centuries, at least. So it is clear that the moon will not collide with the earth. And everything in the earth-moon system's planetary path has long ago collided with the earth or moon, or left our general neighborhood for wider or narrower orbits. This does not exclude the possibility that objects moving from other parts of space might from time to time collide with us.

No. The moon revolves around Earth, and Earth revolves around the sun.
No The moon roates around the earth. The earth rotates around the sun within the solar system.
The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon keep things together. The moon is slowly getting farther from Earth, however. Ancient humans would have seen a much larger moon in the night sky...
The moon is caught in Earth's gravitational pull and the Earth spins on its axis and it is as though the moon is revolving around it
The moon does not fall to Earth because of its orbit and the balance between its gravitational pull and its forward motion. The moon's speed and distance from Earth keep it in a stable orbit around our planet.
Because the earth doesnt go around the moon, the moon go's around the earth, and because the moon is round, u can never see all of it
The moon doesn't fall to Earth because it is constantly moving forward with enough speed to counteract the pull of Earth's gravity. This balance between the moon's forward motion and the gravitational force keeps it in orbit around the Earth.

The moon orbits the Earth due to the gravitational pull between the two bodies. The moon's velocity and distance from the Earth create a balance between the force of gravity pulling it towards the Earth and its inertia carrying it forward, preventing it from falling. This balance allows the moon to maintain its orbit around the Earth.
The moon's velocity affects its orbit around the Earth. The moon's velocity must be balanced with the gravitational pull of the Earth to maintain its orbit. If the velocity is too slow, the moon may fall towards the Earth; if it is too fast, the moon may move away from the Earth.
Objects fall towards the ground due to gravity on both Earth and the moon. However, the acceleration due to gravity is higher on Earth than on the moon, so objects fall faster on Earth compared to the moon. Additionally, the lack of atmosphere on the moon affects the way objects fall by reducing air resistance.
The moon rotates on it's axis as it revolves around the Earth, taking 29.5 days. This is why we can never see the 'back' of the moon from Earth.
No. Very similar to if you tried walking around the Earth.
A feather would fall faster on Earth than on the Moon due to Earth's stronger gravitational pull. The Moon has less gravity than Earth, so objects fall more slowly on the Moon.
You know there is a gravitationnal attraction between Earth and Moon, because the latter orbits the former. The fact Moon doesn't fall tells us the gravitationnal force that attracts it to the Earth is compensated by the "force" created by Moon's velocity that pushes the Moon away from the Earth (centrifugal force)
Not exactly. The Moon and its gravitational force causes the tides to rise and fall as the moon moves around the Earth. Not its Light.
