Best Answer

The gravitational force of the sun is many thousands of times greater than that of Earth. This is due to the enormous difference in mass between the two.

Absolutely not.


Why do both the sun and the moon exert a greater gravitational force on one side of the earth than the other?

The gravitational force depends on the distance.


Is the moons or the earths gravitational force stronger or weaker?

The Earth's gravitation force is greater than the Moon, which keeps the Moon in orbit round the Earth.


What is the force of nuptune's gravity at the surface?

The gravitational acceleration at the surface of Neptune is 11.0 meters (36.1 ft) per second2.That's about 12.2% greater than at the earth's surface.The gravitational force on an object (the object's 'weight') on Neptune depends on the object's mass.The force ('weight') will be 12.2% greater than the force (the object's 'weight') on earth.


Which is greater force from static and gravitational force?

Static electromagnetic force is many, many billions of times stronger than gravitational force.


Would weight increase or decrase on the surface of an earth sized planet with greater mass than earth?

If you're the same distance from the center of the planet but its mass is greater than earth's mass, then the mutual gravitational force between you and that planet is greater than on earth, and you'll "weigh" more than you do here.


The moon orbits the earth and not the sun because its closer to the earth making the gravitational force acting on it due to the earth more significant than that of the sun?

The Sun does exert a gravitational influence on the Moon, but the influence of the Earth is much greater.


Does an elephant has more gravitational force than a mouse?

Yes. An elephant has a greater mass than a mouse and therefore experiences more gravitational force.


When leaving earth how do you overcome gravity?

You do it by exerting a force greater than the gravitational force, in the opposite direction ... a lot like what you do with your legs when you want to climb some stairs.


Does gravitational force on the moon have more on earth?

If what you are asking is whether the Earth or the Moon has more gravitational force on a given object the answer is the equation F = G*m1*m2/r^2. In short since the Earth has a larger mass than the moon it will exert a greater gravitational force on a given object. But sometimes it may not seem like it because of air resistance.


Does the moons gravitational force stronger than earths gravitational force?

No the Earth would pull u more than the moon
