Some of the planets have one or more orbiting moons. Earth is a planet that has a moon. The moon orbits Earth. Gravitational forces between the sun and its planets cause the planets to orbit the sun. Gravitational forces between a planet and its moon(s) cause the moon(s) to orbit the planet. If no forces were present, planets and moons would continue their motion toward outer space without changes in speed or direction. However, gravitational forces between the sun and each planet continuously change the planet’s direction so it remains in orbit. In the same way, gravitational forces between each moon and its planet continuously change the moon’s direction so it remains in orbit.

But it was noon, and there was no moon. “I am so thirsty”, he said. He got down the roof. “I will drink from that pool and wait for the moon,” he said.
