Answer:

But the path of the Moon is always concave towards the Sun; the gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the Moon is always greater than the pull of the Earth on the Moon

Answer:

The moon does not get pulled into the sun because of gravitational pull.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravitational pull is a force that pulls things down or into i guess you can say. Like are orbit, all of the planets (even the dwarf planet "pluto") are circling around are sun but we have things called moons that circle are planets. Are moon is orbiting us like we (are earth) are orbiting the sun. So to get into a little more detail, i will add that we circle the sun or the moon circles us because the action of earth pulling away from the suns gravitational pull is causing it to either rotate or revolve.So we are stuck in the gravitational force of the sun and the moon is stuck in ares. But as someone who LOVES astronamy will say that i watched a video about are earth, sun, and moon and it said that each year are moon is slowly pulling away from the earth. sooner or later we might not have a solar or lunar eclipse anymore.
