Forces of speed and gravity keep the Moon in a constant orbit around Earth. The Moon, Earth's natural satellite, seems to hover in the sky, unaffected by gravity. However, the reason the Moon stays in orbit is precisely because of gravity , a universal force that attracts objects. With the right combination of speed and gravity, satellites can fall around, instead of into, the body that they orbit.

The earth surface attracts the moon with the same force with which the moon attracts the earth. According to Newton’s 3rd law, these two forces are equal and opposite. Also by the universal law of gravitation.
According to the Newton’s 3rd law of motion, the moon also attracts the earth with a force equal to that with which the earth attracts the moon. Since the earth is much larger than the moon so, the acceleration produced on the earth surface (acceleration α 1/m) can not be noticed.
