Why moon is revolving aroung earth only and not around other planets?

Question

in terms of gravity,mass and distance

Answer 1

It comes from earth and it is always attracted by our planet, but the distance between earth and moon increases

Answer 2

in my perspective, you seem to have answered your problem already..

mars vs earth vs venus

proximity? it is closest to earth

gravity? the more massive, the greater the force gravity

mass?earth is bigger and much massive

force of gravity=G (m1)(m2)/ r^2

distance(r) is in the denominator, the larger the denominator, the smaller the whole value

mass are given/"constant" values

say m1 is mass of moon, m2= mass lighter planet, m3=mass of earth then

F(from lighterplanet)=G(m1)(m2)/r^2

F(from earth)=G(m1)(m3)/r^2

let G(m1)/r^2= a

F(lighter)=a(m2)

F(earth)=a(m3)

theorem: if b>c, then bd>cd

Answer 3

The answer to your question lies in the answer to how moon was created.

"There are four main theories about the creation of the moon, although only one is generally considered to give an accurate description of what actually occurred.

The first theory states that the moon was created the same way the planets were - through the coalescing of gas and dust during the solar system's formation. The second theory says that the moon is a captured asteroid. The third theory says that when the Earth was first formed it was spinning so rapidly that it split in two; this is often referred to the "fission" theory*.

The fourth theory is the one that most scientists currently believe is correct. It states that when the Earth was quite young, a Mars -sized planet crashed into it. The planet crashed with such speed that it was completely destroyed, and almost destroyed the Earth. The planet was coming in with such force that when it was destroyed, the molten iron in its core continued to travel through Earth, to eventually be included it its core. This explains why the Moon has very little iron. The crash, comically dubbed the "Big Splash," sent tons of rock and debris into orbit. These fragments eventually coalesced to form the Moon. The tidal and rotational forces in play also account for why the moon's day is exactly the same as it's "year." "

Answer 4

Some planets have their own moons,mars has two.

Answer 5

All moons orbit planets... otherwise they would not be moons. Our moon is Luna, by the way. Moon is the term for a natural satellite of a planet.

Not all planets have moons. Some have a lot of moons: Jupiter, for instance, has 63 moons; some of which you can see with a moderate telescope right now.

Answer 6

It's orbiting due to the gravitational field of the Earth which, being a larger body at a reasonably close distance, effects the Moon far more strongly than do the gravitational attractions of other planets.
