We were all taught in school that everything in the solar system revolves around the Sun. It all started when Copernicus said “We revolve around the Sun like any other planet” and changed our view on the universe forever.
Then why does the moon revolve around the Earth instead of the Sun, if the Sun has the capability to take it away from us? Is that even true?
If the Moon is orbiting the Earth while the Earth is orbiting the Sun, one might say that the Moon is also orbiting the Sun, right?
In this video, we will explore the gravity behind this phenomenon, the theory of moon formation, and the other asteroids that inhabit Earth’s vicinity! Get ready to delve deep into space and understand the secrets of the Universe!
The easy answer to our question is that the Sun is too far away to steal the Moon from us.
Earth’s gravity causes the moon to orbit it.

Formation of the Moon
But first, it’s in our interest to understand how the Moon formed to understand why it orbits our planet!

The Skydiver Effect
It is not accurate to suggest that moons like that of Earth and other planets made a conscious decision to not orbit the Sun. This idea implies that billions of years ago, the moons had an option of two possibilities, which is not the case

Gravity “Wells”
Gravity is a significant force that has an effect on everything in space. Every object in space attracts all other objects, meaning that the trajectory of anything orbiting or passing through space is determined by gravity.
