Are the forces between Earth and the Moon a Newtonian third law pair?

Yes, the forces between Earth and the Moon follow Newton's third law. The Earth exerts a gravitational force on the Moon, and in return, the Moon exerts an equal but opposite gravitational force on the Earth.


What is between the moon and earth causes tides in oceans?

Mutual gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are.


Which parameter has a greater effect on tidal forces on earth?

The primary factor that affects tidal forces on Earth is the gravitational pull between the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. The distance between the Earth and the Moon is the most crucial parameter that influences the strength of tidal forces.


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.


How does the moon move around earth?

It orbits around Earth because of the mutual gravitational forces between the Earth and the Moon, which attract them to each other.


Why is the moon closest to the earth?

The moon is closest to Earth when it is at its perigee, which is the point in its orbit where it is nearest to our planet. This is due to the gravitational forces between Earth and the moon affecting their distance.


Are the forces between the moon and earth the main causes of the high and low tides?

yes


What are the effects of the tidal forces of the Earth and the Moon against each other?

No. The tidal forces between the Earth and Moon are gradually advancing the moons orbit so that it is going slower and slower around the Earth. The Earth rotational velocity is also being decreased because of the same tidal forces. The source of these tidal forces are the difference in the moon's orbital velocity and the Earth's rotational velocity. But when the moon and Earth slow down to the point where their orbital/rotational velocity are the same (the difference between them are zero) then there will be no more tidal forces and the moon will become stationary in the sky. So it will stop but never start to go back in the opposite direction.


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.


Why does the moon circle the earth?

The moon orbits the Earth due to the gravitational pull the two bodies have on each other.


Is the force between the sun and the earth stronger then the force between the sun and the moon?

yes because remember the gravitational forces depend on mass and distance. The Earth is more massive than the moon.


Who keeps the moon in its orbit?

No one does. The gravitational forces between it and the Earth are responsible for maintaining the orbit.
