Does the moon orbit Earth or does the Earth orbit the moon?
The moon orbits Earth.
What is it called when the moon moves around the earth?
This is called its orbit. Strictly, the moon and the earth both orbit their common centre of mass. The path of the moon around Earth is elliptical orbit. It takes about 29 days to complete one orbit of earth by moon.
What is the value for the rate which the moon orbit the earth?
What rate? It orbits earth every 29 and a half days (29.53) in an elliptical orbit (actually the Earth and the Moon rotate around each other ... the Moon never goes "backwards") The lunar distance is about a quarter million miles (238,832 average), but the orbit is very elliptical so the distance varies by more than 7%.
Because the moon is gravitionally attracted to earth why doesnt it simply crash in earth?
The moon has enough speed to orbit the earth. Two forces, gravity and centrifugal force keeps the moon in orbit. The moon will not orbit the earth forever. Scientific Estimations estimate the moon slipping away from the earth at about a rate of 4 cm every year. No, not meters, not kilometers.
When does the moon orbit earth?
The moon is in constant orbit around the earth, all the time.
Do any moons orbit earth?
Yes. One moon orbit Earth (The moon)
Does the moon take to orbit the Earth?
the moon takes 27.32 days to orbit the earth
Why is a month about 28 days long?

How moon moves?
The moon moves in its orbit around the Earth due to the gravitational force between the two bodies. This orbit is not circular but elliptical, causing the moon's distance from Earth to vary. Additionally, the moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that it orbits the Earth, resulting in the same side of the moon always facing Earth.
Days of the orbit of the moon to orbit the earth?
there are roughly 12.5 looner orbits to 1 orbit of the earth The moon takes 27.32 days to orbit the Earth.
Can the moon orbit around the sun?
No, the moon orbits around the Earth, not the sun. This is due to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon. The moon's orbit around the Earth is what causes its phases and affects tides on Earth.
What is the movement of the moon around earth called?
The movement of the Moon around the Earth is called lunar orbit. It is an elliptical path that the Moon follows as it revolves around the Earth.
