The direction of centripetal force when applied to an object is perpendicular to the object's motion.

Centripetal force, or even net force, will always be in the direction of acceleration. For example, the earth is always accelerating towards the sun. The acceleration vector for planet earth is always in the direction of the sun and the velocity is perpendicular to that, hence why we are not getting closer to the sun. Hope this helps.

One of the foci for the moon's orbit would be the
suter [353]
The question is oversimplified, and pretty sloppy.

Relative to the Earth . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around us, with a period of
27.32... days, and with the Earth at one focus of the ellipse.

Relative to the Sun . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a period
of 365.24... days, and with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse,
and the Moon itself makes little dimples or squiggles in its orbit
on account of the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.

I'm sorry if that seems complicated.  You know that motion is
always relative to something, and the solar system is not simple.
