The force is one that acts between the Earth and the Moon and nowhere else. But the gravitational force fields of both objects extend to infinity, reducing as 1 / distance^2.

Does the gravitational force vary with the distance between earth and sun?

The gravitational force between the Earth and sun certainly depends on the distance between the Earth and sun. But the gravitational force between, for example, the Earth and me does not.


What is the relationship between Earth and gravitational force?

Earth has gravity or gravitational force that attracts the moon to the Earth.


What is the gravitational force between the Earth and your body called?

Your weight. Weight is the definition of the force between the earth and other objects. Thus you weight is the gravitational force acting on you from the earth.


Is there a stronger gravitational Force between you and and earth or an elephant and earth?

The gravitational force between an object and the Earth depends on their masses. Since an elephant has a much greater mass than a human, the gravitational force between the elephant and the Earth is stronger than that between you and the Earth. Therefore, the elephant experiences a stronger gravitational pull from the Earth compared to you.


What is the force between the earth and a body on earth?

The force between the Earth and a body on Earth is the gravitational force, which is determined by the mass of the Earth, the mass of the body, and the distance between them. This force causes objects to be pulled towards the center of the Earth.


What is the Name of the force of attraction between an object and earth?

gravitational force


Why does the gravitational force between the Earth and moon predominate over electrical forces?

Between the Earth and the Moon, for example, there is no net electrical force. So the weaker gravitational force, which is only attracts, remains as the predominant force between these bodies.


Definition of gravitational force and examples?

Gravitational force is the attractive force that exists between any two objects with mass. It is responsible for keeping planets in orbit around the Sun and objects on Earth's surface. Examples include the gravitational force between the Earth and an apple causing it to fall to the ground, and the gravitational force between the Sun and Earth keeping them in orbit.


Which force holds Earth in its orbit?

The mutual force of gravitational attraction between the sun and the earth.


Your weight is a force caused by?

The mutual gravitational attraction between you and the earth.


What will eventually happen to the gravitational force between the earth and the moon?

The gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon will continue to exist and affect their orbits. Over time, tidal forces will cause the Moon to move further away from the Earth, which will result in a weaker gravitational force between them.


Is your weight the gravitational attraction between you and the earth?

Yes, weight is the result of the gravitational force between an object and the Earth. It is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
