If moon attract the earth why does the earth not move toward the moon

1.	If moon attract the earth why does the earth not move toward the moon
Answer» According to universal law of gravitation and Newton third law, we understand that the force of attraction between two objects is the same but it is applied in opposite directions. Thus the earth attracts the moon with the same force as the moon exerts on earth, but only in opposite directions.Since, earth is much larger in size than moon, so , the acceleration can not be noticed on earth surface.
