you will fall faster on the earth because earth has a higher gravity

What is the relationship between the earth and moon?
The Moon gives the Earth tides and the Earth keeps the Moon orbiting the Earth because of the gravitational pull.
What exerts a strong pull on water in the ocean?
The Moon's gravitational pull on our planet causes the ebb and flow, (rise and fall), of our earth's oceans.
What are 4 cyclic events that are natural in earth science?
Season - summer, winter, spring, autumn, rainfall Day and Night Phases of Moon Tides Rise and fall
Newton figured out that the force that made an apple fall from a tree was the same as the one keeping the Moon in orbit around Earth?
The legend is that Newton made the connection between the 2 questions when he watched the falling apple ........... Newton realized that the same unbalanced force affected the motions of the apple and the moon.It all has to do with gravity. The moon pulls the waves with the force pulling up or rising the waves, well the apple is brought to the ground with the force or the gravity on Earth.Legend says that Newton, said that the force that made the apple fall from the tree, makes earth fall from the sun and the moon fall from the earth. This force operates throughout the Universe and is a Universal Force..
Tides in the sea are caused by-?
Tides result mostly from the mutual gravitational attraction between the earth and the moon. The sun's gravity plays a part in magnifying the effects of the tides, but over-all the moon's effect is stronger. The part of earth facing the moon, and the opposite part of earth (180 degrees of longitude away) have similar tides. This is counter-intuitive, isn't it? How could there be high tides on opposites sides of the planet? The earth and moon can be roughly thought of as a double planet, or binary system. The earth and moon orbit around each other in a sense. They actually orbit around their mutual center of gravity, the barycenter. Because the earth's mass is so much greater than the moon's, the earth-moon barycenter happens to be within the body of the earth. Have your big, jolly and friendly uncle go out in the yard with you with a length of rope. Each hold an end, and carefully start swinging around each other as you pull on the rope. Chances are, you will be moving a lot; Uncle Joe may not have to move much, but the faster you go, the more he will have to make a circle with his center of gravity in order to keep you in your circle. As the earth and moon orbit the barycenter, the same thing happens; you would witness a wobble in earth's movement that is keeping step with the moon's orbit. The 'back' side of the earth pushes out, adding to the effect of tides on the side farthest from the moon. Also, since that part of earth is farther from the moon, the moon's over-all gravity is less strong than it is on the moon-side of earth.
How objects fall on Earth and on the moon?
Objects fall faster to the earth, then compared to the moon, it is due to the different power of gravity on the the earth and moon.
Does an apple fall faster on the moon or earth?
On the earth because the earth has stronger gravity than the moon
Why does paper fall faster on the moon?
Faster than on Earth? The reason it falls slowly on Earth is because of air resistance. You can also make it fall quickly on Earth if you make it fall within a vacuum chamber.
If the earth spins faster would the moon go faster around the earth?
No. The speed of the moon's orbit does not depend on Earth's spin; it depends on Earth's mass. However, a faster spin on Earth's part would make the moon appear to move across the sky faster, as it would for the sun and stars.
Would the earth spin faster or slower if their was no moon?
Probably faster: The Moon has been slowing down Earth's rotation for quite a while.
Why does the Moon's shadow fall on part of the earth?
Because the moon comes between the sun and Earth, casting the moon's shadow on Earth.
Would the moon and the earth fall towards each other faster than a pebble and the earth because of their greater mass?
Yes, if they were stand still and were not revolving around each other! The Centrifugal force of Moon's revolution around Earth keeps them apart
Can you run faster on the moon?
on the moon, the gravity is about sixth of the earth so you can jump alot higher so you can most likely run faster on the moon that you can on earth. The real problem is the friction.
Will you fall of the moon?
Yes, but not as hard as on Earth.
Why does a paper fall differently on the moon than on earth?
because of gravity. the paper will not actually fall onto the moon but rise up. earth has 10.0n of gravity and the moon has much less, so it wont fall but rise.
When does the Moon travel more faster around the earth?
The Moon's orbital speed is greatest when it is at its closest approach to the Earth.
Will the moon fall on us?
No, the moon is actually slowly moving away from the Earth.
