Explanation:

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

Answer 2

Answer:

According to the third law of motion the earth does move towards the moon but according to the second law of motion for a given force acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Hence we know mass of moon is much less as compared to the mass of earth. So we do not see the moon attracting the earth towards it.
