Answer:

The greater an object's mass, the more gravitational force it exerts. So, to begin answering your question, Earth has a greater gravitational pull than the moon simply because the Earth is more massive. That's why the moon isn't pulled out of Earth's orbit by the gravity of larger planets or by the sun.

hope this helps

have a good day :)
