Question

Why is the orbit of the moon around the earth determined by gravity and not by electric forces?

Answer 1

Because the net charge on the earth and moon is very close to zero, and the magnitude of the electrostatic force is directly proportional to the net charge on the two bodies.  Whereas with gravity, the force is directly proportional to the masses of the two bodies, and they have quite a bit of mass.

Answer 2

Gravity acts over much greater distance than any electromagnetic force, in fact over infinite distance.

Answer 3

if there was a net charge on either the earth or the moon they would blow apart under electrostatic force. all substantial bodies in teh universe must electrically neutral, and their orbits are determined strictly by gravity.
