Question

Why the moons revolve around their planets but not sun as the planets do. Sun have more mass and gravitational pull​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since the moon is too near to the earth than sun, the force of the gravitational force of earth is more than the sun on moon(F=GMm/r^2). So the moon revolves around the earth not the sun.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The gravitational force mainly depends upon mass and distance (gravitational force of objects depends directly upon product of masses of objects and inversely proportional to square of distance) Even though Sun is bigger than earth, the moon is closer to the earth. The gravitational force of the earth is more than the sun on the moon. So the moon revolves around the earth not the sun.
