Since the earth is larger than the moon it generates a more powerful magnetic field which pulls the moon towards the earth and causes it to orbit as the earth rotates on its axis, and the reason it stays in orbit is because the moon is moving fast enough to stay in orbit rather than be pulled into the earth yet it's not moving so fast that it will leave earths orbit.
What else can I help you with?
Does the moon have enough gravity to hold a modern car?
Yes, the moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity, which is enough to hold a modern car. However, the weight of the car would be significantly reduced on the moon compared to Earth.
Does the earth hold onto the moon with magnetism?
Not magnetism, gravity.
what forces act upon the moon as it is orbiting earth?
Gravity hold the moon in orbit
Does earth's moon have oxygen?
No, its gravity is too low to hold an atmosphere.
Will you find gravity water and air on the moon?
The moon does have gravity, it is 1/6 that of the earth's. However the moon does not have water or air. There is no atmosphere to hold the air in.
Is the moon pulled by the earth's gravity?
Yes. the mutually attracting forces of gravity hold the moon and earth together and cause the earth's tidal forces.
Why does the moon have gravity but no air?
The moon has gravity because it has mass, which creates a gravitational pull. However, the moon has no atmosphere because its gravity is too weak to hold on to gases like air. As a result, the moon has a vacuum environment with no air or atmosphere.
How does the moon's gravity compare to Earth's gravity?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity.
Is there gravitiy in the moon?
Yes, there Is gravity on the moon. It is not as strong as the Earth's gravity (it is about 1/6 of the Earth's gravity), but, Yes, the moon does have gravity.
What is The moon has more gravity than the earth.?
"The moon has more gravity than the earth." is a question (about the moon and gravity).
Why is gravity on earth and not the moon?
There is gravity on the moon. The moon's gravity is much weaker than Earth's because the moon has less mass.
What percentage of earth gravity?
The moon has one-sixth the gravity of earth.
