If the moon attracts the earth, why does the earth not move towards the moon?
The moon and the earth both attract each other with equal force.
from the second law of Newton,
a = F/m
Here the mass of the earth is much greater than the mass of the moon (about 81 times). As a result, the acceleration produced in the earth is negligible, so the earth does not move towards the moon.
