It does. The moon's gravity pulls on Earth with exactly the same amount of force as Earth's gravity pulls on the moon. However, since Earth has about 80 times more mass than the moon, it experiences about 1/80 the acceleration that the moon does. Rather than the moon simply orbiting Earth, the two revolve around a common center of mass, which is inside Earth, but closer to Earth's surface than it is to the center.
What else can I help you with?
Why doesnt the force of gravity pull the moon into earth?
because of the power of bacon
Why doesnt the moon have as much gravity on it as the earth?
Gravity is determined by the mass of an object. An object with twice the mass will have twice the gravitational pull. Since the moon is much smaller (has a lot less mass) than earth, the gravity on the moon is less than on earth.
Why doesnt the moon have enough gravity on it to pull us down?
It does. Astronauts on the moon can jump higher than they do on Earth but they still come back down. The moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's because the moon has less mass.
Does earth's gravity pull the moon outward?
No, the Earth's gravity pulls the moon in towards Earth.
How does Newton's law of the universe gravitational apply to earth and the moon?
If it were not for the Earth's pull of gravity the moon would fly away from the Earth. The moon's pull of gravity on the Earth causes the tides.
Why do you fote on the moon?
One does not necessarily float on the moon, rather experiences less gravity which in turn doesnt pull you down at the same speed as persay on the earth
In which direction does gravity pull the moon?
The Earth's gravity pulls the Moon towards it and its center.
How does the moon created a bulge?
The moon has it's own gravitational pull. The earth's gravity keeps the moon in orbit, while the moon's gravity tugs on the earth. This pull from the moon creates a bulge on the earth, especially on the oceans. This pull is what causes the tides to change.
Is moon the strongest gravity?
Earth has a stronger pull than the moon.
When the moon revolves around the earth what does it cause?
The pull of the moon's gravity causes Earth's tides.
Does the moon control the gravity?
Everything that has mass has gravity, even you. The Moon has its own gravitational pull as does the Earth.
Why does the pull of gravity keeps the moon in orbit around earth rather than pulling the moon into earth?
The moon is in a constant state of freefall toward Earth due to Earth's gravity, but its forward motion also keeps it in orbit. This balance between the moon's forward velocity and the pull of Earth's gravity creates a stable orbit. If the moon's forward velocity were to decrease or the pull of Earth's gravity were to increase significantly, the moon could be pulled towards Earth.
