The bigger an object's mass is, the bigger its gravitational pull is. Earth's gravitational pull is larger because it has a bigger mass.

Do The Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other?

Yes, the Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other. This force is responsible for the Moon orbiting around the Earth.


What force do the sun and the moon exert on the earth?

They exert Gravitational Force on each other. It is a force which is directly proportional to Mass of the object


Does the earth and the moon exert a gravitational force on each other?

no they don't


Only the earth exerts gravitional force on all object is it true?

Anything with mass include you and me do exert gravitational force but the earth is massive so it exert more force than any of any small object including us on earth. The gravitational force is done between two mass in following general gravitational law by Newton. F = G.M1m2/R2 We sum up G.M1/R2 as gravity = 9.81 m/s2 for M1 is earth and R = earth radius Between 2 man with m1 and m2 respectively, gravitational force between these two man is at F = G.m1m2/L2 where L = distance between center of mass (you and me for instance). Gravitational force is small compare to earth's gravitational force but it does exist.


True or false The Moon orbits Earth and not the Sun because the Sun doesn't exert a gravitational force on the Moon?

False. The Moon orbits around Earth due to Earth's gravitational pull, but the Sun also exerts a gravitational force on the Moon. The combined gravitational forces of Earth and the Sun control the Moon's orbit.


Out of the Sun Earth the Moon and a Book which one exert the stronget gravitational force on you?

The Earth exerts the greatest gravitational force on you because it is the most massive object you are closest to. The Earth exerts a force equal to your weight. The other objects exert gravitational forces but are not very noticeable because they are either low in mass or separated from you by great distance.


Only the earth exerts gravitional force on all object is it true or false?

False. Every object attracts every other object, through the gravitational force.


Why does the moon exert a lower gravitational force than the earth?

The moon is smaller than the Earth.Therefore it has a lower gravitational force. Don't you know this?


What type of force does earth exert on a ball thrown in the air?

The force is known as gravitational force or gravitational pull. This force pulls the ball towards the center of the Earth, causing it to accelerate downward.


Why are not attracted to the wall by gravitational force?

Humans are not attracted to walls by gravitational force because walls do not have sufficient mass to exert a noticeable gravitational pull on us. The force of gravity is proportional to the mass of an object, so walls, being much less massive than the Earth, do not exert a significant gravitational force on us.


Does earth the moon and sun have gravity?

Yes, they have gravity. In fact, anything that has mass will have a gravitational force - the more mass a body has, the more gravitational force it will exert.


The moon orbits earth and not the sun because the sun doesn't exert a gravitional force on the moon True or False?

False. The sun does exert a gravitational force on the moon.
