Hai friend . Your thinking is not correct. The earth never revolves around the moon. Both the moon and the earth are revolving around the sun. The fact is that the moon is held in its path due to the gravity of the earth . Also the moon and the earth revolve around the sun in an uniform manner. This makes us think that that the earh revolves the moon.

Correction: The Earth revolves around the Sun. The moon revolves around the Earth.
Why? Our Sun exerts a gravitational force on the Earth, and the Earth exerts a gravitational force on the moon. These forces allow the smaller bodies to orbit but not escape orbit. Think of it as a ball on a string. If you whirl it around you have created an orbiting body. In this case the string is like the Sun and The Earths gravitational pull and the twirling is like the moon trying to escape.

Actually, earth and moon revolve about a common point which is well below the surface of the earth, so for convenience one usually says that the moon revolves around the earth. The reason for this is obscure; presumably it dates back to the original creation of the solar system, as some moon rocks are about as old as the earth.

For one who is on the moon , it would appear that the earth is moving around the moon , the same way ,the sun appears to move around he earth. for one on this earth
If the earth is moving around the moon , all the sides of he moon would be visible for one looking at it from the earth. but it is seen that the moon is showing only one side of it to the earth all the time .Again all the great masses of matter exert an a force of gravitation /attraction on one another . it is the known case that the smaller of the two bodies is always drawn by the bigger one , just like a magnet attracting a needle . you do not Say that the needle pulls he magnett .You say that the magne pulls the needle . the same way it is the earth , the bigger body that pulls he moon , the smaller one and so the smaller of the two bodies alone goes around the bigger one. So it is the moon that goes around the earth and not the earth that goes around the moon.

The moon revolves around earth due to its momentum and the gravitational attraction beween the earth and the moon.
