If an astronaut hit a golf ball on the moon What would happen and why?
It would move and go 6 times as farther than on the moon due to the gravity of the moon being 1/6 of Earth's gravity.
What would happen if you were on the moon?
If you were on the moon your weight would lower, as there is no gravity.
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.
What happen if the moon would be replaced for an object who has the mass of Jupiter?
Earth would be destroy due to the gravity force of that planet.
Can gravity effect the moon?
Were it not for the interaction of the Moon's gravity with the Earth's, it would not be there. Gravity keeps it in its orbit, as it does all celestial bodies. The moon's gravity also affects the Earth, causing the tides and geological stresses.
What would happen if Neptune was as close to Earth as the moon?
Earth would either orbit Neptune or get torn apart by neptune's gravity

What would happen to the moon if the earth stopped exerting the force of gravity on it?
If the Earth stopped exerting the force of gravity on the moon, it would slingshot away from the earth, but because of the gravitational pull of the sun, it would eventually settle into a stable orbit around the sun.
Would there be gravity on earth if there was no moon orbiting it?
Yes. Gravity on Earth is caused by the mass of the Earth, not by the Moon.

What attractive force keeps the moon in orbit around earth?
Gravity is what keeps them in attraction. The force of Gravity is determined by the mass and distance between two or more objects. The other force that keeps the moon in orbit is the moon's inertia. Without inertia the moon would simply fall into Earth; because of Gravity, the same would happen with the planets and the sun.
How does Newton's law of the universe gravitational apply to earth and the moon?
If it were not for the Earth's pull of gravity the moon would fly away from the Earth. The moon's pull of gravity on the Earth causes the tides.

Does the moon's gravity affect the earth's gravity?
The effects would only combine for an object outside the Earth-Moon system (such as an asteroid). Otherwise, objects near the Earth and Moon will experience gravitational effects from both. The Earth's gravity holds the Moon in its orbit, and the Moon's gravity affects the Earth, notably causing the ocean tides.
What would happen if the moon tore to pieces?
Its own gravity, which is what holds it together now, would probably bring the pieces back together again. It would depend on what caused the Moon to be torn apart. For example, if there were no gravity, the Earth itself would explode. That's because the temperature and pressure of the mantle and the core would blow the crust away. This does not happen BECAUSE the Earth's own gravity keeps it together.
