How is the moon affected by the earth?
The Earth's gravity keeps the moon in orbit.
Why is it that the earth is not affected by the Moon's gravity?
Earth is affected by the moon's gravity. The moon's gravity exerts just as much force on Earth as Earth's gravity does on the moon, but since Earth is far more massive, it undergoes far less acceleration.
How could the earth be affected if the moon didnt exist?
If the moon didn't exist:The Earth would not experience eclipses.Tides would not be nearly as big as they are now.Nights would be much darker.A day on Earth would be MUCH shorter.To name a few.
What is a sport no way affected by differences in frictional effects between the earth and the moon?
Every sport because the earth and moon are not in close enough proximity to generate friction between their surfaces. If you mean sports that aren't affected by air-friction, which would be present on earth but less significant on the moon, then mind sports would be a candidate, as would space suit grappling.
How would the solar and lunar eclipse be affected if earth and moon were five times farther away from the sun?
The real question would be, what's the distance between the Earth and the Moon in that scenario? If the Earth were five times farther from the Sun, and the Moon remained at the same distance from the Earth, then, the Moon would appear to be larger (in angular size) than the Sun did, and the Sun's corona would also be hidden behind the Moon. The width of the path of totality would also be much larger. Lunar eclipses probably wouldn't be affected too much.
What happens if the moon doesn't have inertia as it travels around the earth?
If the moon doesn't have inertia, it means that if any force whatsoever is applied to it, it will be way out of wack. Inertia causes something to be resistant against a change in motion so if the moon had too much inertia, it would not move at the proper speed and Earth would be affected by its drop in movement. If the moon had no inertia, it wouldn't continue to keep its proper and exact distance from the earth and Earth would be affected by its increase in movement.Hope this helps!! =)
Why would a rock's mass and weight be affected on the moon?
A rock's mass is not affected by the moon. It's weight is a function of mass and gravity. So, the same rock would weigh more on Earth than on the Moon, as the Earth's gravity is greater. In order to effectively confuse the issue, I should point out that gravity is also a function of mass...
If earth did not turn how would the tide patterns be affected?
Presumming that the Moon doesn't stop, the tides would change about twice a month.
Something on earth affected by the pull of gravity from the moon?
tides
Do the earth and the moon orbit the sun since the moon orbits the earth and the earth the sun?
Yes, while the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon carries on orbiting the Earth, as it is not as affected by the distant gravity of the Sun as it is by the nearer gravity of Earth.
Do the earth and the moon move at the same speed?
As far as their motion around the Sun, they would have to, in order for the Earth and Moon to stay together. However, because the Moon is also moving around the Earth, they do not have exactly the same (vector) velocities at any time. (The Moon is 400 times farther from the Sun than from the Earth, so it is mostly affected by the Earth's gravity, not the Sun's.)
How many kg would a astranut helmet weigh on the moon?
Kilograms aren't affected by gravity, as they are a measure of mass. So, it would be the same as on earth...
