What foce pulls the moon and Earth toward each other?

Gravity is the force responsible for pulling the moon and Earth toward each other. This force keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth and causes tides on Earth.


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.


Does the sun sit behind the moon?

The sun can sometimes be behind the moon, it depends on where the moon, earth and sun are relative to each other.


When there is a full moon where are the Moon Sun and Earth relative to each other in space?

They are in a line with Earth in the middle.


What do the earth and the moon have the same distance from?

each other


How are the earth moon and sun related to each other?

The moon circles around the earth; the earth circles around the sun.


What is the effect of the moon on the earth?

they affect each other, as well as orbiting the sun as a unit , they pirouette around a common centre of gravity located between them


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.


How does the moon effect the sun and earth?

which your talking about is a problem that many people have wondered called the three bodied problem. It's about what happens when there are three objects all pulling on each other. There are many solutions to this problem but the one that applies to the earth the sun and the moon is that the third body's gravity is insignificant. This means that the moon is not having a very big effect on the Sun or Earth.


Why do the moon and earth do not bump each other?

because the moon has an orbit that goes around the earth which is a path that the moon takes so it will not bump into any other planets


What effect does the moon have on other planets?

The moon's effect on other planets is minimal compared to its influence on Earth. The moon's gravity can cause slight motions in the planets, but these effects are typically very small due to the planets' larger size and distance from the moon. Overall, the moon primarily affects Earth's tides and to a lesser extent, the movement of celestial bodies within our solar system.
