The bigger an object is, the more gravity it has! Earth is much bigger than the moon, therefore it has stronger gravity.

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.


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


Why does the exert a stronger gravitational force than the moon?

Though the moon is closer, it is relatively small compared to the sun. The sun is much larger and exerts a far stronger gravitational force.


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.


Why does the sun exert more gravitational force on mars than on earth does?

The gravitational force between two objects depends on their masses and distance. Although the sun exerts the same gravitational force on both Earth and Mars due to their masses, this force is stronger on Mars because it is closer to the sun compared to Earth's distance. This makes the gravitational force between the sun and Mars greater than that between the sun and Earth.


Why do both the sun and the moon exert a greater gravitational force on one side of the earth than the other?

This is due to the differential gravitational force caused by the varying distances between the Earth and the sun/moon. The closer side experiences a stronger gravitational pull compared to the farther side, resulting in tidal forces that create high and low tides on Earth.


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.


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.
