Now let’s talk about your question. We know that gravity gets weaker as you go further out into the space. The earth’s gravity is much weaker at the moon than at a low earth orbiting satellite.

Remember, the moon does fall towards the earth, but the force by which the moon stays in the orbit is well greater than the gravitational force. The moon has an orbital speed from the momentum gained during its revolution that allows it to fall around the Earth with a trajectory that follows the same curve as Earth’s surface. Because there paths are parallel, the moon perpetually falls at the earth without ever touching it.
