It exerts a stronger force on us (when we are on it's surface) for two reasons:

1. It has a larger mass (gravitational field strength increases with mass).

2. It is closer (gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the object's centre of gravity).

Is there a stronger gravitational Force between you and and earth or an elephant and earth?

The gravitational force between an object and the Earth depends on their masses. Since an elephant has a much greater mass than a human, the gravitational force between the elephant and the Earth is stronger than that between you and the Earth. Therefore, the elephant experiences a stronger gravitational pull from the Earth compared to you.


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.


Who has more gravity the moon are the earth?

The earth exerts a stronger gravitational force.


Does the moon excert gravitional force on earth?

Yes.


How does gravity affect your weight?

Due to the earth's mass, gravitational force happens strongly between you and the earth. That is how weight is formed. Remember that two objects have gravitational force between each other, and the closer the distance, the stronger the gravitational force. The bigger the mass, the stronger the gravitational force as well. Since the earth is so huge in size and mass, you have a strong gravitational force acting on you known as weight.


Is the gravitational force of earth and moon the same?

No, essentially mass = gravity the earths mass is roughly 81 * that of the moon, if you stood at the same distance from both, the force on you from the earth would be 81 * that of the moon.


Earth exerts a stronger gravitational force than the moon because Earth has more?

mass. Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object, so Earth's greater mass results in a stronger gravitational pull compared to the moon.


Does the moons gravitational force stronger than earths gravitational force?

No the Earth would pull u more than the moon


What is earth's gravitational force compared with Uranus?

Earth's gravitational force is stronger than Uranus due to Earth's larger mass and size. Uranus has a weaker gravitational force because it is a gas planet with lower density than Earth.


Why does Earth exert a sgronger gravitational force than the moon?

Earth exerts a stronger gravitational force than the moon due to its larger mass. The force of gravity is directly proportional to an object's mass, so Earth's greater mass results in a stronger gravitational pull compared to the moon.


Is the Sun's gravitational force larger or smaller than the Earth's?

about 330,000 times stronger


Why does the gravitational force between the Earth and moon predominate over electrical forces?

Between the Earth and the Moon, for example, there is no net electrical force. So the weaker gravitational force, which is only attracts, remains as the predominant force between these bodies.
