Answer:

hii mate here is your answer

Explanation:

the reason is that the moon is not still. it constantly moves around us .without the force of gravity on the earth ,it would just float away into space .this mix of velocity and distance from the earth allows the moon to always be in balance between fall and escape.

good night and sweet dreams

Because there is exists a Centripital force and an equal Centrifugal force between the moon and the earth.

Centripital force is the force that exists in every revolving object which helps the revolving body to move in a uniform circular motion.

Centrifugal force exists everywhere where there exists a Centripital force. It is an equal force to the Centripital force which helps in balancing the uniform circular motion of an object by cancelling the effect of the Centripital force and preventing the object from falling off towards the object with the bigger mass.

For eg. when you tie a stone to a thread and rotate the thread very fast, and then suddenly leave the thread, the stone will not fall towards you but willl fall in the direction in which it was rotating.

This is because there is a Centripital force between the stone and the thread due to which it keeps rotating in a circular motion and it is because of the Centrifugal force that the stone does not fall towards you when you leave the thread. You can consider the stone as the moon, yourself as earth.
