Detailed Solution

The gravitational attraction generates the centripetal force required to keep planets orbiting the Sun and all forms of satellites orbiting the Earth.

The Moon orbits due to the gravity of the Earth. It is constantly adjusting the velocity of the Moon.

The moon moves in two directions: first, it revolves about itself on its own axis, and second, it orbits the Earth.

The moon takes days to orbit the Earth and can be seen in the sky for 15 days before moving to another side of the Earth that humans cannot view.
