The noun 'moon' is a common noun as a general word for any moon of any planet.The moon that is a satellite of the planet Earth is a proper noun as a word for a specific moon. The moons of other planets have individual names such as Mars' moon Phobos, or Neptune's moon Triton. The planet Earth's moon is simply called The Moon.
When the earth is between the moon and the sun, a full moon occurs. In the less common instance when the Earth is between the moon and the sun and all three are in line, a lunar eclipse occurs.
Both the Earth and the Moon have a rocky surface, but the Earth has a diverse range of elements and minerals, along with an atmosphere that supports life. The Moon, on the other hand, lacks an atmosphere and has a surface covered in craters, rock fragments, and soil called regolith.
The moon is to the earth, as the earth is to the sun.
The moon orbits the Earth because of the gravitational pull between the two bodies. Earth's gravity keeps the moon in its orbit, while the moon's gravity also affects Earth, causing tides. The Earth is much larger and has more mass, so it remains the central body around which the moon orbits.

Sure, according to Newton's Third Law, the Moon must also attract the Earth. Actually, saying that the Moon revolves around the Earth is only an approximation. it is more accurate to state that Earth and Moon revolve around the common center of mass.Sure, according to Newton's Third Law, the Moon must also attract the Earth.
