because the shared center of gravity of the two is closer to the earth than the moon. Actually, i think the center of gravity resides under the earths surface even.

Because the Earth's atmospere is very strong and has more gravity than the moon does. The moon as the Earth's energy. So the moon travels about 240 or more times in 1 year. And also, the moon only faces 1 side of the Earth. The other side is pure gravity-less and black. I hope my info. helps.

It formed already going around Earth, gravity keeps it from flying away, momentum keeps it orbiting and lack of friction in empty space keeps it from spiraling down to hit Earth.
And note to Surveyor:
Never make fun of a person with an accent, because chances are that person can speak at least one more language than you can.

It's held in orbit by the Earth's gravity, just like the Earth is held in orbit by the Sun's.

It's smaller, and it's in orbit which is due to gravity.
