The earth and the moon attract each other due to their gravitation. However, they do not collide or collapse because the centrifugal force acting due to their revolution balances the gravitation pull of the bodies.
The centrifugal force of the bodies acts away from the centre resulting it to keep on it's orbit.

here's your answer........dear friend........
as the moon get attracted towards the earth so why the earth doesn't get attracted towards the moon............???????????
ans.......the reason is according to the third law of motion the moon does attract the earth.........

for a given force: acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of an object..........
now the mass of the moon is very small compared to earth..........
so we do not see the earth get attracted.......... towards the moon.........
hope it will work................
