Answer:

The moon is being pulled to the earth by gravity, so the net force makes a circular pattern.

Step-by-step explanation:

The force of gravity is a force that pulls objects toward the centre of the earth. The acceleration due to gravity of the moon is about 1.6 metre per second square which is comparatively smaller than the earth's 10metre per second. Therefore, the moon isn't completely pulled to the centre of the earth, but orbits around the earth
