What else can I help you with?
Why does the moon orbit us?
because the earth's gravity is pulling the moon towards itself just like earth gets pulled by the sun with the help of its gravity
How does the moon and sun cause tides?
The moon has gravity just like the earth and this gravity from the moon pulls the sea around as it changes its relative position to us.
Why does one lose weight on moon?
The moon is much smaller than the earth. As a result, the force of gravity on the moon is only about one sixth as strong as gravity on earth. Gravity is what holds us down on the earth's (or moon's) surface.
If you went to the moon you could jump much higher and farther because?
You could jump much higher and farther because there us less gravity on the moon so it never pulls you down so you can jump higher and farther.
Why do you weigh more than on the moon?
The gravity that pulls us to the earth is much weaker on the moon.
Why doesn't the moon get attracted by the Sun's gravity and orbit it instead?
because the moon is close to the earth, earth's gravity is more powerful ! so that why it is near to us.
Is there 0 gravity on the moon if so how does NASA provide video of men on the moon dropping a feather and hammer?
There is enough gravity on the moon for us to go there and explore. Any object with mass also has gravity. While the moon is smaller than the earth, it still has an immense amount of mass.
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.
Why is the moon in space?
Because of gravity. Everything in space is there because it defied gravity. And I'm not saying that the moon was once on earth. God must have put it there to keep us wondering how it got there.
How does the moon affect the waters of the earth?
Everything has it's own gravity. The bigger the mass the stronger the gravity. The Earth's gravity pulls the moon towards us, but the moon has its own gravity and, as it isn't strong enough to effect the planet as a whole, so instead it pulls the oceans towards it. As the earth rotates one side is always closest to the moon and is effected the most. This pulling of the oceans towards the moon is how tides work
What makes tides occur?
Gravity(the pull that keeps us on earth)
Why do we feel the moon's gravity more than the sun's gravity?
We feel the Moon's gravity more than the Sun's gravity primarily due to its proximity to Earth. The gravitational force decreases with distance, and since the Moon is much closer to us—about 238,855 miles away—its gravitational influence is stronger on our planet. While the Sun's gravity is indeed much stronger overall, its distance (about 93 million miles) diminishes its effect on us compared to the Moon. Thus, the Moon's closer position allows it to exert a more noticeable gravitational pull on Earth.
