The sun does not orbit or move around the Earth and moon because the Earth has to orbit the sun while the moon orbits the earth.

Why do the moon and earth do not bump each other?
because the moon has an orbit that goes around the earth which is a path that the moon takes so it will not bump into any other planets
Would the moon and the earth fall towards each other faster than a pebble and the earth because of their greater mass?
Yes, if they were stand still and were not revolving around each other! The Centrifugal force of Moon's revolution around Earth keeps them apart
Does the moon rotate around the planets?
Yes. Each moon revolves around its own planet. Our Moon revolves around Earth.
What is the relationship of the moon to the earth?
The moon and Earth are each affected by each other's gravity and rotate around a center of mass which is actually within Earth, since Earth is far larger in mass. Because of the Earth's large force of gravity on the moon, the moon has undergone synchronous orbit i.e. always faces the same face to the Earth. On the other hand, the moon influences the Earth by causing tides on Earth (two high and two low tides a day as well as larger pattern spring/neap tides).
Why does the moon circle the earth?
The moon orbits the Earth due to the gravitational pull the two bodies have on each other.
How are the earth moon and sun related to each other?
The moon circles around the earth; the earth circles around the sun.
What is the relationship between how the earth sun and moon revolve round each other?
Moon revolves around Earth, Earth revolves around Sun.
Why do the moon and earth do not bump each other?
because the moon has an orbit that goes around the earth which is a path that the moon takes so it will not bump into any other planets
How does the moon move around earth?
It orbits around Earth because of the mutual gravitational forces between the Earth and the Moon, which attract them to each other.
Would the moon and the earth fall towards each other faster than a pebble and the earth because of their greater mass?
Yes, if they were stand still and were not revolving around each other! The Centrifugal force of Moon's revolution around Earth keeps them apart
Interactions with the sun moon and earth?
They rotate around each other, and work together to create tides.
Why do you think that the earth and the moon do not bump each other as they travel around the sun?
because they have their own orbit
Why do you see different phases of the moon?
because of revolution, also because of the way that the moon, sun, and earth revolve around each other!

Does the moon rotate around the planets?
Yes. Each moon revolves around its own planet. Our Moon revolves around Earth.
Does Earth pull the moon toward it?
Earth and moon pull on each other, with equal force. That's how gravity works. As the result, earth and moon both revolve around their mutual center of mass ... the point where the pivot would have to be in order for the earth and moon to balance each other at opposite ends of a see-saw. Since the earth's mass is about 80 times the moon's mass, the point around which the two bodies orbit happens to be inside the earth, so somebody who's watching from far away would swear that the moon orbits the earth while the earth stands still.
How does the moon go around earth?
In an ellipse. Sometimes it is slightly nearer to the Earth, sometimes farther. The Moon takes about 27 1/2 days to go once around Earth.
