With the exception of Pluto and Charon, it is larger in comparison with the planet it orbits than any other satellite in the solar system. Not only that, but the Moon is so large that it doesn ;t really orbit Earth at all. Both bodies orbit a point located between them called the barycenter. This is located about a thousand miles below the surface of Earth

That is, nowhere is its orbit curved toward the sun. The reason for this is that the gravitational pull of the sun on the Moon is greater tha
