Answer:
The
moon revolves around the earth because gravitational force of the earth on moon
provides the necessary centripetal force for circular motion. The moon also
attracts the earth, due to which earth also revolves around the moon in
circular orbit, but due to the very large mass of the earth, the motion of
earth is not observed. It may be kept in mind that there is no linear motion of
earth towards moon or moon towards earth. The gravitational force between them
keeps on changing the direction of the motion of moon or earth in circular
orbit.
