How far does the moon have to be or has to move away from Earth for the moon to be released from Earth's gravitational pull?

There's no limit to the distance at which Earth's gravity is effective, and no limit to the
distance that two bodies can separate and still move in mutual gravitational orbits.

When spacecraft goes on moon how it revolves after leaving earths gravitational pull?
ahhh now.... When a spacecraft leaves earths atmoshere it does not leave earths gravitational pull! the moon itself is in earths gravitational pull. which is what stops the moon from floating away so as far as i can imagine if you put a space craft on the moon you have not left earths gravitational pull or the E.G.P
Is Charon almost bigger than Pluto?
charon has a gravitational pull that is equal to which earth has a gravitational field on charon. still the charon has a gravitational pull that can pull earth a centimeter distance away from the earth yearly but we all studied about law of conservation of center of mass you might have understood why i have taken this topic earth is not moving away from the sun...
What is Gravitational field of Eris?
On Earth, not much ; it is pretty far away, and not very massive.
What is the gravitational pull of Uranus compared to earths?
The acceleration due to gravity of Uranus at its "surface" is about 8.69 m/s2. On Earth is it 9.8 m/s2. This means that Earth's gravity is about 13% larger than Uranus's gravity. Uranus is more massive than Earth, but mass is only half of what makes a gravitational pull. Uranus's gravitational pull is smaller that Earth's because it's "surface" is farther away from it's center.
The atmospheric pressure near the earths surface does what?
It decreases as you move away from the earth surface
Why doesn't the moon fly away from the earth?
because it is in the earths gravitational pull

Why doesn't the suns gravitational force affected you more than earths gravitational force does?
Because the sun is 93 million miles away, whereas the earth is, well, right here!
Why Would a person weigh less on top of a mountain than on earths surface?
Because the mountain is farther away from the gravitational centre of the Earth.
Would an object have a greater gravitational pull closer or farther from earth?
An object have greater gravitational pull closer from earth. As we get farther from earth, the gravitational pull becomes weaker. That is why objects sufficiently away from the earth do not fall on it.
What happens to the strength of this gravitational field as an objects moves further away from Earth?
The further away from the Earth's surface you travel - the weaker the gravitational pull is.
Does an object get lighter the further it is away from earths surface?
Yes. Weight is the gravitational force X the mass of an object. The further away from the center of the earth, the less the gravitational force. So you would weigh more at sea level than you would on top of Mt. Everest.
Why does the moon not get pulled towards the earth?
Allthough moon is pulled by earths gravitational field but due to another forces like centrifugal force of moon which is developed by moon while revolving around earth keep it away form collpsing with earth. Also there are many other bodies in space which neutralize the gravitational pull of earth to moon.
How is the moon kept in orbit?
The earth by its gravitational pull keeps the moon in its orbit. The earths gravitational pull and the Moon's inertia creates a force called the centripetal force which keeps the Moon in orbit.
Is a gravitational field?
== == This is what keeps Earth in place. If there was no gravitational feilds, the Earth would crash into other planets, and space objects. It pushes the moon away from the Earth and the sun pushes the Earth away. Like repelling magnets. == == == == == == == ==

Are satellites outside the earths gravitational pull?
No. It's the mutual gravitational force between it and the earth that keeps a satellitein a closed orbit, instead of flying off away from earth in a straight line.Technically, there's no such thing as "outside of" the gravitational force of anything.We can calculate the gravitational force between a star in a distant galaxy and the earth.In fact, we can calculate the gravitational force between a star in a distant galaxy and you.The force is pretty small, but it's there.
