Although the Earth’s gravitational force attracts the moon, we do not see the moon falling towards the Earth because the moon’s orbital motion keeps it in a stable orbit around the Earth.

We do not see the moon falling towards the Earth despite gravitational attraction because its orbital motion creates a balance. The moon’s forward velocity keeps it in a stable orbit, preventing it from crashing into the Earth.
