Why does jupiter have a stronger pull than earth?
Gravitational attraction is a result of the amount of matter there is in an object. The more mass the greater the gravitational attraction. Jupiter has far more mass than the earth hence a greater gravitational attraction.
What attractive force keeps the moon in orbit around earth?
Gravity is what keeps them in attraction. The force of Gravity is determined by the mass and distance between two or more objects. The other force that keeps the moon in orbit is the moon's inertia. Without inertia the moon would simply fall into Earth; because of Gravity, the same would happen with the planets and the sun.
The sun and the moon have relatively equal tide-generating forces on Earth?
It is not. The Sun has much more mass, therefore it has a greater gravitational attraction.The Sun has more gravitational attraction on Earth than the Moon, despite its farther distance. However, the effect on the tides is less, in the case of the Sun - tidal forces obey an inverse cube law, more or less.It is not.

Why do you weigh more on Jupiter than on Earth?
because Jupiter has a bigger mass than earth and the more mass means the more gravitational attraction
What planetary body has more influence on earths tides and why?
The moon. Tides are caused by differential difference in distance between the near and far side of the planet - not in the strength of the gravitational field itself. Thus we orbit the sun, but the moon is the major factor in the tides.
Why are you NOT weightless on the moon?
Because the Moon has mass, a LOT of mass. If something has mass, it will have gravitational attraction. The more mass, the greater the attraction. The moon has ~1/6th the gravity as the Earth.
What is the difference between the gravitational attraction of objects on earth and objects on the moon?
the difference between the gravitational pull on th eearth and moon is 1/6th. The gravitational pull on the earth is 6 times more than the garvitational pull of the moon. If some one weighs 36 kgs on earth then the weight on moon will be 6 kgs.

If the moon have no gravity so why it's cause our tide?
The moon does have gravity. Otherwise, our astronauts would have not been able to walk around on it. The gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth's oceans is the major force involved in the creation of tides. Because the moon is much closer to the Earth than the sun, it has more gravitational attraction.
What attractive force keeps the moon in orbit around earth?
Gravity is what keeps them in attraction. The force of Gravity is determined by the mass and distance between two or more objects. The other force that keeps the moon in orbit is the moon's inertia. Without inertia the moon would simply fall into Earth; because of Gravity, the same would happen with the planets and the sun.
What is the lower tides?
The tides of the earth's oceans are caused by the attraction of our moon on the planet, the attraction of the earth's water towards the moon (on the near side), the inverse-square law of distance vs. acceleration, and the earth's rotation.Because of the inverse-square effect of gravitational attraction, the moon has more attractive force on the overall earth than it has on the water on the far side of the planet. The net effect is to repel the water on the far side of the planet.>> The lower tides occur opposite the moon because the forces are lower.
Why does the moon impact earth's tides?
The force of gravity varies with the distance - at a greater distance, the force is less. Thus, The side of the Earth that is closer to the Moon feels more gravitational attraction than the side that is farther away - Earth is pulled apart, slightly.

Who has more gravity the moon are the earth?
The earth exerts a stronger gravitational force.
What is the effect of mass on the gravitational attraction between objects?
If there is more mass, there will be more gravitational attraction.
Does the moon have stronger gravitational force than the earth?
No the Earth would pull u more than the moon
Is the force on the moon due to the earth larger than the force on the moon due to the sun?
If we look just at the bodies and the gravity each has and not gravitational force between any of them, the sun has the greatest gravity. Gravity is a function of mass, and the sun is a monster compered to the earth or the moon. The sun is so massive that it contains about 99% of all the mass in the whole solar system!
