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.

Why the gravitational force of earths moon is very low?

The moon is small.


Is the moons or the earths gravitational force stronger or weaker?

The Earth's gravitation force is greater than the Moon, which keeps the Moon in orbit round the Earth.


Why is the gravitational potential energy of an objects 1 meter above the moons surface less than its potential energy 1 meter above Earths surface?

because the value of gravitational force of earth is greater than that of moon.


How does the moon and the sun effect the earths oceans?

The gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon, effect the earths oceans by forming tides.


How strong is the earths moons gravatational pull?

The gravitational pull of Earth's moon is about 1/6th that of Earth. This pull is what causes tides on Earth and keeps the moon in orbit around our planet. It also affects the Earth's rotation and the tilt of its axis.


Would having 2 moons affect the earths gravity why?

Another moon would not affect Earth's gravity. The gravity a body exerts is determined by its mass, not by the mass of objects affected by it. This would, however affect other things, chief among them tides, which are controlled by the gravity of the moon.


What has the most influence on ocean tides?

The gravitational pull of the moon is the primary factor influencing ocean tides. The gravitational force between the moon and Earth causes water on the side facing the moon to bulge outward, creating a high tide, while the opposite side experiences a low tide. The sun also contributes to tides, but to a lesser extent than the moon.
