Answer:

The moon revolves around Earth because Earth is larger than the moon, so it is heavier, and has a greater gravitational pull. The plane of the moon's orbit is very close to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. This is why planets revolve around the Sun, because it is larger, so therefore it has a greater gravitational pull.
