What else can I help you with?
The moon orbits earth and not the sun because the sun doesn't exert a gravitional force on the moon True or False?
False. The sun does exert a gravitational force on the moon.
What gravitional pull has the greatest effect on tides?
On Earth it's the moon.
How would the tides on earth be diffrent if the moon revolved around earth in 15 day instead of 30day?
the moon's gravitional pull on earth decreases with the moon distance from earth
What does the gravitational effect on the moon got to do with the rise and fall of the sea?
It is not the gravitional effect ON the moon, but the gravitional effect OF the moon. The moon pulls on the earth, just as the earth pulls on the moon. The pull of the moon causes water to be drawn towards the moon, and forms a "bump" in the level of water. As the earth rotates below the water, the raised part of the water has the effect of making the water get deeper, then shallower. Those are the tides.
Why does earth excert o stronger gravitational force than the moon?
It exerts a stronger force on us (when we are on it's surface) for two reasons: 1. It has a larger mass (gravitational field strength increases with mass). 2. It is closer (gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the object's centre of gravity).
Does Earth exert a contact or a non-contact force on the moon?
Earth exerts a non-contact force on the moon.
Is the gravitational force of earth and moon the same?
No, essentially mass = gravity the earths mass is roughly 81 * that of the moon, if you stood at the same distance from both, the force on you from the earth would be 81 * that of the moon.
Are The forces of the earth and moon are equal?
The force the Earth has on the Moon is exactly the same force the Moon has on the Earth. Since the Moons force on the Earth along with the Earth's force on Moon are acting on opposite directions this follows the concept of Newton's 3rd law.
How does the force of gravity on the moon compare to that on Earth?
The force of gravity on the moon is about one-sixth (1/6) of the force of gravity on Earth.
What is responsible for keeping the moon in orbit around the earth?
The gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon is responsible for keeping the Moon in orbit around the Earth. This force acts as a centripetal force, pulling the Moon towards the Earth and keeping it in a stable orbit.
Does the earth attract the moon with a force that is greater or smaller or the same as the force with which the moon attracts the earth?
In a gravitational situation, the forces are exactly equal in both directions.-- The Earth attracts the moon with a force that is exactly the same as the forcewith which the moon attracts the Earth.-- You attract the Earth with exactly the same amount of force as the Earth attracts you.-- Your weight on Earth is exactly the same as the Earth's weight on you.
Do The Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other?
Yes, the Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other. This force is responsible for the Moon orbiting around the Earth.
