Detailed Solution

The motion of the moon around the earth is circular and periodic motion.
“A periodic motion is a motion in which the body repeats its motion after a certain interval of time.” The motion of the moon around the earth is periodic because the moon repeats its motion after a regular interval of time. The motion of the earth around the sun is periodic.
Also, “A circular motion is a motion in which an object rotates around a fixed point at a fixed distance.” So the motion of the moon around the earth is circular also.
