Question
Briefly explain motion of the centre of mass of earth moon system.

Answer

The centre of mass of a earth-moon system moves in elliptical path around the sun. The system of earth-moon moves due to the external force provided by the sun, and the parts of the system under motion about COM is due to the internal force between them.
