False. The sun does exert a gravitational force on the moon.
Mars orbits the sun instead of Earth because all planets, including Mars, orbit the sun due to the sun's gravitational pull. The gravitational force exerted by the sun on Mars is stronger than the gravitational force between Earth and Mars. This gravitational force keeps Mars in orbit around the sun.
The moon orbits the Earth because of the gravitational pull of the Earth, not because it is closer to the Earth. The force of gravity depends on mass, so the more massive object (in this case, the Earth) has a greater gravitational pull on the smaller object (the Moon). This gravitational force keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth.
The moon's gravitational pull on Earth causes the ocean tides. The gravitational force creates a "stretching" effect on the Earth, with tides occurring as the Earth rotates within the "bulge" of water created by the moon's gravity.
because while they are within the suns gravitational field they are both being affected with the same pull so it would not cause them to crash into each other because they are orbiting in a separate system. The Earth and Moon are both orbiting the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system. In slightly simplified terms the Moon orbits the Earth. That orbit is stable, so they keep their distance from each other. The Earth-Moon system then orbits the Sun.
Planets and moons remain in their orbits because of the gravitational pull other bigger planets or stars have on them, for example the Earth stays in its orbit because of the gravitational force it is subjects to created by the Sun, and the moon stays in its orbit because of the gravitational force it is subject to created by the Earth. It's all about gravity and force.
Mars orbits the sun instead of Earth because all planets, including Mars, orbit the sun due to the sun's gravitational pull. The gravitational force exerted by the sun on Mars is stronger than the gravitational force between Earth and Mars. This gravitational force keeps Mars in orbit around the sun.
The moon orbits the Earth because of the gravitational pull of the Earth, not because it is closer to the Earth. The force of gravity depends on mass, so the more massive object (in this case, the Earth) has a greater gravitational pull on the smaller object (the Moon). This gravitational force keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth.
The moon orbits the Earth because it is close enough to the Earth to be captured by the Earth's gravitational field. Both the Earth and the moon orbit the sun, together. The sun is by far the largest and heaviest object in the solar system, and it has the strongest gravitational field, therefore everything in the solar system orbits the sun.
Since the Earth is so much larger, it has a greater gravitational pull. The moon orbits the Earth because of this pull.
Moon, due to gravitational pull
false
The Moon orbits around the Earth because it is under the gravitational influence of Earth. This gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth. The Sun's gravitational force is much stronger, but the Moon's orbit around the Earth is stable due to the balance between these gravitational forces.
The moon orbits around the Earth due to gravitational attraction between the two bodies. This gravitational force keeps the moon in orbit as it moves around the Earth. Additionally, the moon's velocity and the balance between gravitational pull and centripetal force also contribute to its orbital motion.
The balancing of the gravitational pull of the Earth and the Sun.
Mainly because we are in "free fall" around the Sun. In such situations, gravity won't be noticed. Also, Earth's gravitational force is much stronger, anyway, because Earth is much closer.
The moon orbits the Earth because of the gravitational pull between the two bodies. This gravitational force is stronger between the Earth and the moon compared to the Sun and the moon, causing the moon to primarily orbit around the Earth.
Moon also revolve. Earth revolve round the sun and moon revolve round the earth.
