The moon revolves around the earth, not the other way around. There are a couple opposing explanations for this.
1 That the earth and the moon have a common origin.
2 That the earth has captured the moon.
the one thing we can be sure, is that the moon revolves around the earth.

If you consider moon at rest, then earth revolves the moon.
If you consider earth at rest, then moon revolves the earth.
One is attracting the other.
If there is no attraction between the two, they will move in their straight path, receding from one another.
But since there is attraction, while they do maintain their own motion, they are bound to move in a circle.
If they don’t maintain their own independent motion, soon they will collide with each other due to attraction.
If they were not attracted, they will recede from one another.

because monkies attached a rope to the moon then painted it blue... the bluer the place the more gravitational force it has. for example the moon used to revolve around earth. Now it revolves around the moon cuz it is more blue

the moon revolves around the earth and i believe it has to do with the force of gravity between the earth and the moon.

well we all know that the moon rotates around the earth but if you consider the moon to be stationary, its the earth which rotates around the moon. buts thats ridiculous, coz earth has a bigger mass than the moon, thus the moon experiences a force of attraction towards the earth

The scientific reason is gravitation force (or say gravitational attraction) and proper distance.
Imagine the day when they will actually meet each other, what will happen... There will so many moons and suns.....There will be no place for us.. hahahaha
