-- ocean tides -- moon's orbit around the Earth
Tides are the result of lunar (and solar) gravity.
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.
Gravity is the attraction between masses. And since the moon has less mass than earth, the gravity is weaker there. Over a distance gravity is weaker.
No, the Earth's gravity pulls the moon in towards Earth.
Yes. The moon's surface gravity is about 1/6 what it is on Earth.
The Moon.
The moon orbits around the earth due to gravity
The attraction of gravity between the Earth and the Moon.
Since Jupiter is further than the moon, there is not as much gravity as the Earth and moon.
The gravitational force of attraction between the moon and an objecton or near its surface is 0.165 of the force between the Earth and thesame object on or near Earth's surface.
