Moon's orbit around the Sun The Earth revolves around the Sun and the Moon revolves around the Earth.
Out of curiosity I started thinking about the orbit of the Moon around the Sun and expected (assumed) it to be as follows:



But on Wikipedia and some other sites I found out that the orbit is actually like this:



I have 3 questions:


What is the reason for this difference between assumed and actual path variation?
Has this path been like this since the formation of the Moon?
Do natural satellites of other planets also follow the same orbit around the Sun?


After further searching I found out a better, easier explanation regarding the orbit path on YouTube for those interested, be sure to check it out.
Not an answer, but I thought this was a good slice of a picture of the Moon's orbit around the sun.
