The Moon orbits around the Earth because of Inertia/momentum and gravity.
The Mass of the sun is so strong it has 8 planet orbiting it. It has the most mass in the solar system
Earth
They are way smaller than this but this is as small as I could get them
Moon
Pretty much the object with the most mass will have objects with less mass orbiting around it if they have Inertia like this
Lets say Theoretically The Moon and the Earth were way farther apart then they are now
The Moon would orbit around the Earth way slower as well as having a higher likelihood of floating away by being hit by something asteroids loose metal ETC.
Now lets say Theoretically in this situation the Earth and Moon are way closer together.
The Moon would at some point crash into the earth and cause impending doom with over a few billion deaths. The water would be pretty weird and probably overlap Europe and several other continent
And Thats why we need gravity momentum and the moon or we'd all be dead.
