Solution
The Moon revolves around the Earth in a nearly circular orbit due to the gravitational force of the Earth.
The Moon tends to move in a straight line due to its inertia, but Earth’s gravitational force continuously pulls it towards the Earth. This force provides the centripetal force needed to keep the Moon moving in its orbit.
