Well if the moon moves a bit the earth and tide pulls with it and if the sun moon and earth are all in the same position as in a spring tide it causes the tides to go really big.

Can you give an example of a sentence using the word gravitation?

Newtons law of gravitation show us that the gravitation force between two objects directly proportion to their masses.


What provide the force that produce centripital acceleration in orbit?

The gravitation of the central body. For example, for the Moon moving around the Earth, the centripetal force is the gravity between Earth and Moon.


What is the moon's gravitational pull relative to the earth's gravitational pull the moon?

The force of gravitation attracting the earth and moon toward each other is exactly the same force on both bodies.Just as the force of gravitation that attracts you toward the earth is exactly the same as the force that attractsthe earth toward you.


What are the Uses of gravitation?

Gravitation force makes the Earth move around the sun and also makes the moon go around the Earth. Our weight is the gravitational force of the Earth acting on us. For example; the gravitational force of the moon is about one-sixth that of the Earth.


What keeps the moon ins orbit around earth?

That's the mutual force of gravitation (gravity) between the Earth and the Moon. This, combined with the Moon's velocity (its inertia), results in the orbital path that the Moon follows.


Which of the following forces exerted by the earth on the moon keeps the moon in orbit?

The force that keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth is gravity. Specifically, the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon is what keeps the moon in its elliptical orbit.


What does force have to do with the moon orbiting the earth?

Force? As in The Force from Star Wars? Or a gravitation force? Care to explain?


What is the force that keeps the aerth and the moon together in space?

The force that keeps the Earth and the Moon together in space is gravity. This gravitational attraction between the Earth and the Moon pulls them toward each other, resulting in the Moon's orbit around the Earth. The strength of this force depends on their masses and the distance between them, as described by Newton's law of universal gravitation.


How does the law of universal gravitation apply to earth and the moon?

The law of universal gravitation states that every object attracts every other object with a force proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. In the case of Earth and the Moon, they exert gravitational forces on each other that keep them in orbit. The gravitational force between them causes the Moon to orbit around the Earth.


Why do you weigh more on the earth than on the moon?

Because the force of gravitation is very different !


What is the ratio of force of attraction between sun and moon and the force of attraction between earth and moon?

The force of attraction between two objects is described by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the force is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The Sun's mass is significantly greater than that of the Earth, which means the gravitational attraction between the Sun and the Moon is much stronger than that between the Earth and the Moon. However, the distance from the Moon to the Earth is much smaller than the distance from the Moon to the Sun, which also plays a crucial role. Overall, the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon is approximately 180 times stronger than that between the Sun and the Moon.


What is Gravitational force between earth and moon if the moon moves twice the distance away from earth?

The mutual force of gravitation between two masses is inversely proportional to the squareof the distance between their centers.So, when the distance between any two masses doubles, the gravitational force between themdecreases by a factor of 4 . . . it drops to 25%of its original value.
