What else can I help you with?
Over millions of years the moon is moving further away from the earth what will happen to the gravitational attraction between the moon and the earth as the moon gets further away?
As the moon gets further and further away, the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon decreases. Because the Moon is not being attracted but being pushed away from the Earth. If the gravitational force would have increased, the moon would come closer and closer to the Earth.
How far away would I be if I was 313 thousand miles away?
You would be 313,000 miles away, which is further than the Moon is from Earth.
What would happen to the earths tide if the moon was further away?
High tides would be smaller and low tides would be bigger, but would still occur. The cause of the tides is the gravitational attraction between the earth and moon, and to a lesser extent, between the earth and sun. If the moon were further from the earth, its gravitational attraction would be less strong, and its effect on the earth's liquid envelope would be correspondingly less.
What would happen if the moon orbited earth in one day?
Techincally speaking that would never happen. The moon would have to be VERY close to the Earth. The moon moves away from the earth 1.75 inches away from the earth each year, making the hours of the day longer. If the moon did orbit the earth in one day, this would happen around the time period the moon formed in space.
What if the moon was further away?
If the moon were further away, it would appear smaller in the sky. Tides would be weaker than they are now, affecting marine life and coastal ecosystems. The moon's influence on Earth's rotation and axial tilt may also change.
What happens if earth fell out of its orbit?
This is impossible but, the earth would keep spinning for a while but would be swirling further and further away from its neighbouring planets and we would freeze immediately. The moon would probably slow to but as the earths gravity weakens, the moon would drift away from us.
What would happen to the moon if it sped up in orbit?
If the Moon were to speed up in orbit, it would be further from Earth. Remember, this is governed by angular momentum, not ballistics.
What are three things that would happen if you had no moon?
the tides would go away it would be dark at night the beach would be no fun
What happens to earth if the moon is pulled away by the sun?
It can't happen, so it would be pointless to worry about it.
Why does the moon have a stronger influence on Earth's tides?
It's all down to the proximity of the moon to the Earth. If it was further away, tidal influence would be much less.
What would happen if the force of earth's gravity suddenly stop pulling in the moon?
In that case, the Moon would move in a straight line instead of moving around the Earth; it would quickly get away.
Is the moon moving closer to the Earth or farther away?
The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.
