Imagine a table cloth held on by each corner above the ground. This is the universe. Put an apple on it. This is a planet. The apple makes a dent. This is gravity. Put grapes on the cloth. These are smaller planets. They are drawn to the apple. Put a soccer ball on the cloth. This is a very large planet. Everything moves towards it. Gravity.

What occurs when the gravity of the sun and moon work against each other to create a small daily tidal range?
neap tides
What occurs when the moon is first or third quarter?
neap tidesNeap tides, which are reduced tides occuring when the Sun's and the Moon's gravity pull at right angles.
When a star's inward gravity and outward pressure are balance the star is said to be?
Hydrostatic equilibrium occurs when compression due to gravity is balanced by a pressure gradient which creates a pressure gradient force in the opposite direction. The balance of these two forces is known as the hydrostatic balance.
What if there was gravity in space?
There is gravity in space. Gravity is everywhere. You can never escape gravity.
What finally caused the sun and moon to move?
Both rotate and revolve because of gravity. Rotations occur because of the center of gravity (which is why you have a better balance low to the ground). Revolving occurs because, in the Moon's case, Earth has a larger mass and pulls the Moon around it. The sun doesn't revolve, it stays still.
What is the attractive force that occurs between the Sun and the Earth called?
It is called gravity.
How tides occurs on Earth?
From the pull of the moons gravity.
What occurs between any two objects?
Gravity
Why neptune gravity pull people in?
Gravity is an attractive force that occurs between all objects with mass. The gravity of any planet will pull objects in.
When a ball rolls down a hill what energy conversation occurs?
gravity
What change in weight occurs going towards the centre of the Earth?
Gravity... :D
What is the name of the attraction that occurs between any two objects?
Force of gravity.
What is caused by mass?
Mass movement is caused by gravity. (: also occurs when tectonic plates shift
Why does water runoff the surface of the earth?
This occurs because of gravity. Water runs from the highest places (mountains and plateaus, or where rainfall occurs) to the lowest point, into the ocean.
What is mass movement cause by?
Mass movement is caused by gravity. (: also occurs when tectonic plates shift
What effect does gravity have on velocity?
Gravity changes the velocity of an object that is in "free fall" (that is, one that is only subject to the force of gravity). Near Earth's surface, this change of velocity due to gravity occurs at a rate of 9.8 (meters / second) / second; usually this is written as 9.8 meters/second2.
Where is the force of gravity maximum?
The greater the product of two masses, and the closer together they are, the greater the force of gravity is between them. There's no limit. On earth, the greatest force of gravity on any object occurs when the object's center of mass is closest to the ground.
