What else can I help you with?
What if the moon were farther from the earth?
If the moon were farther from the Earth, it would appear smaller in the sky and have a weaker gravitational influence. This could result in weaker tides and potentially lead to changes in the Earth's axial tilt and rotation rate over long periods of time.
What's the difference between the gravitational effect on earth and the gravitational effect on Uranus?
the man was fatter than i could imagine
Could the gravitational pull of the sun ever swallow the earth?
no, because we are not that close to the sun the gravity of the sun can not swallow the earth.
Where is its gravitational potential energy minimum?
The answer depends on what "it" is and the overall context. The answer could be the centre of the earth where the earth's gravity has no effect, or the Lagrange point where the gravitational forces of the moon, earth and sun balance each other.
What effects did an aseroid have on earth?
The Asteroid would be slowly sucked in my Earth's gravitational forces. If it is traveling at a high speed it could plummet towards earth. This may or may not be fatal to the Earth's population. I could quite possibly dislodge enough dust into the atmosphere to be fatal to all beings on the Planet. However if the asteroid is not travelling at a high speed it would orbit around the earth until disturbed. Hope this helps.
Was there life on the moon?
No, The moon was created when Earth could not sustain life. The moon was pulled into Earth's Gravitational pull and now orbits around Earth.
How do meteorites shed light on the internal composition of the Earth?
Meteorites could be the non-accreted material of which Earth was formed, or possibly the remnants of planetesimals, either of which could reveal details as to the composition of Earth.
Stars could collide with planet earth?
yes because stars have a massand so does the earth, and the earths gravitational pull extends infinatelyas issac newtons theory with the falling apple. he spent most of his life studying gravity andhow this powerfull force works. so if you take a spaceship and go into space then turn the engines off it could possibly collidewith earth.
Could humans fly on Earth?
Expect a prototype invention of real-life wings, so people could possibly fly on Earth. But for right now, people could fly with sails, and jet packs, if a company could actually allow them to be made.
Why do things move towards the Earth but not toward people?
Because the gravitational pull of the Earth is much larger than the gravitational pull of lets say... a human. You could argue that on earth there is a gravitational pull to humans, but the Earth is over powering that pull. So the object is pulled down (to the surface of the Earth) rather than to you or me.
If the average distance between Earth and the Sun were doubled what changes could occur in the Suns gravitational pull?
Its pull on the earth would be 25% as strong.
Can you move the earth?
In theory, yes. Could humanity? No. The Sun moves the Earth through gravity every single second of every single day. If you could find something with enough mass, you could affect the Earth's orbit - just like the Moon does. The bigger the mass, the bigger the gravitational effect.
