What is the centripetal force holding the moon into Earth?
The force that holds the moon in place is gravity. Without gravity, there wouldn't be a moon.
What is the force on the Moon's surface compared to the force of gravity on earths surface?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of the earth's.
Why that the moon has no gravitational force?
The moon does have gravity. It has 1/6 the gravity of earth.
What is the most gravity force that creates tides?
The moon is the major source of tides on the Earth, followed by the Sun.
Which force gives you weight?
The force of gravity. The gravity on the moon is less than on earth, and if you weighed yourself on the moon, you would weigh less.
Is force of gravity on the Moon about 1 sixth of the gravity of the Earth?
Yes.
Is gravity the force that holds the moon in orbit around the earth?
Gravity
How does the force of gravity from the earth affect the moon?
Gravity makes the Moon remain in orbit around Earth.
What is the force for the moon orbiting the earth?
Gravity
What is the force that pulls objects down towards the moon?
The force we are talking about is the force of gravity... which we usually denote with small g... its value on earth is approx. 9.8m/s2 or 32ft/s2. The force of gravity of moon is 1/8th to that of the earth...... This is due to this less force of gravity that we feel weightlessness on moon...
Is gravity force a contact force?
No - gravity acts across the vacuum of space - this is how the moon affects our tides.
Is the force of gravity a strong on the moon as it is on earth?
No. That is why you wiegh less on the moon.
