Detailed Solution

The gravitational force of the moon and earth is responsible for the uniform circular motion of the moon around the earth
Gravitational force: The attractive force present between any two objects that possess mass. The force of gravitation attracts objects together. The Moon moves in a uniform circular motion around the earth and it is mainly due to the gravitational force between the moon and the earth. As the mass of the earth is much greater than the moon, so it is the moon, which revolves around the earth.
