The earth revolves round the sun because the sun attracts the earth. The sun also attracts the moon and this force is about twice as large as the attraction of the earth on the moon. Why does the moon not revolve round the sun? Or does it?

No, the moon does not revolve around the sun and it revolves around the earth which revolves around the sun due to sun’s gravity.
Explanation:
- This is because, even though the sun is massive in size when compared to the earth and the gravitational force exerted by the sun on the moon is twice that of the earth on the moon, the distance between the objects plays a major role in the moon’s revolution.
- The moon is very far away from the sun and very closer to the earth, which makes the earth’s gravitational influence on the moon more powerful than the sun’s gravitational force.
- Thus, the moon revolves around the earth and not the sun.
