According to Newton's 3rd law the moon also attracts the earth with equal force which prevents it from falling towards the earth, while the gravitational pull of earth results in The revolution of the moon around the earth the force of the moon is not noticed on earth as the mass of the earth is much greater than that of the moon.

The center-seeking change in velocity of an object moving in a circle is:
NeTakaya

The center-seeking change in velocity of an object moving in a circle is the centripetal acceleration.

So, by Newton's laws, we know that an object moving with a given velocity will remain in constant motion with a constant velocity until we apply an acceleration.

So we define acceleration as the rate of change of the velocity, also remember that velocity is a vector (has magnitude and direction), so, if there is a change the direction of the velocity, we have an acceleration that causes that.

In circular motion, the velocity vector is always perpendicular to the radius of the circle, and it can only be possible if the velocity direction is changing constantly. This will happen because of something called centripetal acceleration.

This acceleration points radially inwards (to the center of the circle) so is also perpendicular to the velocity of the moving object, and this is what causes the constant change in the direction of the velocity of the moving object.

Just to give an example, if you have a string with a mass on one end, and with your hand, you rotate the mass (from the string), the tension of the string would be the centripetal acceleration.
