Gravity is what keeps the Moon bound to the Earth. The gravitational force exerted on the moon by the much closer Earth is relatively much stronger than that of Sun from the Moon's perspective, in spite of the Sun's greater mass.

Hi. Dust is subject to static electric attraction and the moon, although probably attracted by static, has a much less dramatic attractive motion. Is this real enough?

Can you say "gravity vs. angular acceleration"?
