Why does the moon stay in orbit around the earth?

Answered by admin @



"The Moon stays in orbit because of Earth's gravity. Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward each other. Just because an object is big does not mean it will have lots of gravity. The force of gravity depends on an object's mass."
