Free points did u Know The earths gravitational pull and the moons are pulling each other, the moon stays in 1 place the hole time because the gravitational force between the to dont change the moon rotates around the earth because the moon is still moving just in the same spot. The sun and earth are the same the gravitational pull between them is making earth not move but it is still rotating around the sun. This means that it passes the Sun in the sky once every 29.5 days (called New Moon) and then moves slowly away from the Sun until it's exactly opposite the Sun at Full Moon, two weeks later. At any point in these two weeks, you can see the Sun and the Moon in the afternoon sky at the same time. There’s a gravitational pull between each pair of celestial bodies. The pull increases with the mass of the objects. The Sun’s mass is 1,989,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0 00,000 kilograms, and Earth’s mass is 5,972,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms. The Sun has more mass than Earth, so the force between them draws the smaller Earth toward the Sun. This makes Earth go around the Sun. The mass of Earth is 5,972,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms, and the mass of the Moon is 73,477,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms. Earth has more mass than the Moon, so the force between them draws the smaller Moon toward Earth. This makes the Moon go around Earth. The Sun keeps Earth in orbit, and Earth keeps the Moon in orbit.
