What is the force that pulls the moon toward earth?

That would be gravity. It pulls things towards the center of the Earth, including objects that are not on Earth such as man-made satellites and the moon.

Yes. The Moon must pull on the Earth with an equal and opposite force.

The force is gravitational force.

Yes. The Sun even pulls on the Moon harder than Earth pulls on Moon. Yes. The Sun even pulls on the Moon harder than Earth pulls on Moon. Yes. The Sun even pulls on the Moon harder than Earth pulls on Moon. Yes. The Sun even pulls on the Moon harder than Earth pulls on Moon.

A single body doesn't have a gravitational force. The force only shows up when there are two bodies. It pulls both of them toward each other, and they both feel the same force. The force between you and the earth is called your "weight", and it holds you down. The force between the earth and the moon is what keeps the moon in its orbit.

The Earth's gravitational force keeps it from moving away into outer space. (* Gravity is a mutual force of attraction between matter, so the Earth pulls on the Moon while the Moon pulls on the Earth.)

the sun has a much smaller effect than the moon. the moon pulls anything toward it wherever it is over earth, which is usually ocean due to the fact that earth is almost all water, so the moon pulls ocean water toward it, causing rougher seas

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 attracts the earth toward you.

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, the Law of Action and Reaction, if the Earth exerts a force on the Moon, the Moon must exert an equal and opposite force on the Earth. Newton's Law of Gravity implies the same thing, as its mathematical formula, F = G m M / r2, in which F is the gravitational force between the two bodies, m and M are their masses, and r is the distance…

The Moon's gravity pulls ocean water toward it while the Earth revolves.

the moon is the nearest neighbour of earth and earth have gravity the movement of the moon affects the tides of the earth by.........................a force called gravity, acctually the moon pulls the water from seas, oceans and rivers towards it by the force gravity which is in earth my english oh!

The Earth pulls on the Moon, and the Moon pulls on the Earth. The Sun pulls on the Moon, and the Moon pulls on the Sun. Mars pulls on the Moon (ever so slightly) and the Moon pulls on Mars. Your body pulls on the Moon (hardly measurable, but it does) and the Moon pulls on your body. The Moon and Sun and Earth's gravity pull (and push) Earth's oceans, and the ocean "tides" are…

No. Gravitational force is present between every two mass bodies, and the force on each body is the same.

No, friction is the resistance on a moving object that acts to slow it down, there is no friction in space. Gravity is the force that causes all bodies with mass to attract to each other, this includes the moon and earth. An example of this is the tides, the tides are effected by the pull of the gravity from the moon.

Gravity attracts the moon toward the Earth, and the moon's angular momentum pulls in the opposite direction. With gravity alone, the moon would crash into the Earth, and with angular momentum alone the moon would fly away into outer space. But in combination, these produce an orbit.

sun's gravity pulls earth and earth pulls on the moon.

The center-directed force of Earth's gravity pulls the moon into a nearly circular orbit around Earth. :)

The force of gravity pulls every pair of objects toward each other. The gravitational force that pulls you and the earth toward each other is what you call your "weight". The strength of the force depends on the mass of both objects, as well as on the distance between them. The moon's mass is about 1/80 as much as the earth's mass, so an object placed at the same distance from the center of each…

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...

It's gravity. The Earth has enough mass to warp space and capture the moon in it's gravitational grasp.

the pull of earth's gravity makes any objects fall to the ground.As the moon goes around earth, its gravity pulls on earth causing water in the oceans to move toward the moon.Earths gravity also pulls on the moon.

The gravitational force is 'mutual' ... both of the bodies involved experience equal forces toward the other. In the gravitational attraction between the earth and you, the earth is attracted toward you with a force equal to your weight. If the earth and moon were five times as far apart as they are today, the force on each toward the other would decrease to (1/52) = (1/25th) = 4% of what it is today.

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.

Because the gravity of a larger object pulls the smaller ones toward them.

Because the moons gravitational force pulls the water upwards.
