because of size! a planets gravitational pull defers from size. earth is bigger the moon

gamej0201: The answer is

gamej0201: The Earth and the moon experience equal gravitational forces from each other. However, the mass of the Earth is much larger than the mass of the moon. Hence, it accelerates at a rate lesser than the acceleration rate of the moon towards the Earth. For this reason, the Earth does not move towards the moon.

moon is attracted by the Earth but the force that attracts the moon towards the Earth is called centripetal force due to which moon rotates around the Earth and if this force is vanished the moon will go with the tangent at that time and will move in a uniform motion till infinity

Hope this helps....
