Earth revolves around the Sun; the Moon revolves around the Earth. They have their own force of gravity as well as gravitational force between them, but they never collide with each other. Clarify this with reasons.

Question

Accepted Answer

Although gravitational force pulls the Moon towards the Earth and the Earth towards the Sun, each body also has orbital velocity (a sideways motion) around the other. This orbital velocity balances the pull of gravity: gravity continuously pulls the body inward, while its motion carries it forward, and together these two effects produce a stable curved path (an orbit) instead of a straight-line collision. This is why the Moon keeps revolving around the Earth, and the Earth keeps revolving around the Sun, without colliding.
