The effects would only combine for an object outside the Earth-Moon system (such as an asteroid). Otherwise, objects near the Earth and Moon will experience gravitational effects from both. The Earth's gravity holds the Moon in its orbit, and the Moon's gravity affects the Earth, notably causing the ocean tides.

How does gravity affect the movement of the moons?
Earths gravity keeps the moon from flying off in the same way the sun keeps earth in balance.
Does the moons gravity affect the ocean?
Yes, the moons gravity effects when the tide comes in and goes out.
How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?
Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.
How does the Moon's movement effect the tides?
The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'
What is a true statement about the moon?
The Moon orbits the Earth. The Moons gravity causes Earths tides to ebb and flow.
How does gravity affect the movement of the moons?
Earths gravity keeps the moon from flying off in the same way the sun keeps earth in balance.
What is the gravity on the moon lo?
About 0.183g, where one g is the earths gravity, so about one fifth of the earths gravity. It is similar to our own moons surface gravity.
How much stronger is the earths gravity than the moons gravity?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's.
Does the moons gravity affect the ocean?
Yes, the moons gravity effects when the tide comes in and goes out.
How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?
Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.
Why is there the moons gravity is only16 of the earths?
The earth has a colossal size more mass
What is the the earths moons atmosphere?
There is no atmosphere on the moon. There is insufficient gravity to keep an atmosphere there.
Does Mars' gravity affect other objects?
yes it does but the gravity is 38% of the earths gravity and if doesn't affect objects then it will have no moon
How does the Moon's movement effect the tides?
The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'
What is earths relative gravity?
Generally gravity of other planets, moons, ext is compared relatively to Earth's (with Earth's being 1).
How would the gravity of mars affect the landing of a spacecraft?
Does mars' gravity affect other objects. yes it does but the gravity is 38% of the earths gravity and if doesn't affect objects then it will have no moon.
How does gravity affect tides?
Tidal movements result mainly from the pull of the moons gravity on the ocean.
