Understanding the Sun, Earth, and Moon Dynamics

The video explains the Sun's massive influence in the Solar System, highlighting how the Moon orbits both the Earth and the Sun. Despite the Sun's stronger gravitational pull, the Moon remains bound to Earth due to its insufficient speed to reach escape velocity. The video also discusses the Moon's gradual movement away from Earth due to tidal interactions. Viewers are encouraged to engage with the content and support the creators through Patreon.
