Detailed explanation-1: -Does the Moon orbit Earth? Yes. The Moon takes about one month to orbit Earth (27.3 days to complete a revolution, but 29.5 days to change from New Moon to New Moon). As the Moon completes each 27.3-day orbit around Earth, both Earth and the Moon are moving around the Sun.
Detailed explanation-2: -Earth revolves about the Sun, producing the 365-day year. A satellite revolves around a planet.
Detailed explanation-3: -Viewed from above, however, the Moon orbits Earth in the same direction as our planet rotates. So, the Moon actually moves from west to east through our sky, albeit so slowly that we almost never notice it.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Earth revolves around the moon.
Detailed explanation-5: -As the Earth rotates, it also moves, or revolves, around the Sun. The Earth’s path around the Sun is called its orbit. It takes the Earth one year, or 365 1/4 days, to completely orbit the Sun. As the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon orbits the Earth.
