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.


What are the forces of going to the moon?

gravitational force is the force that goes on to the moon.


What is the gravitational force on the moon?

1.623 newtons per kilogram of mass. That's 16.55% of the gravitational force on Earth.


How does gravitational force acting on the planet compare to the gravitational force acting on the moon due to the planet?

The gravitational force acting on the planet is much greater than the gravitational force acting on the moon due to the planet. This is because the planet has a significantly larger mass than the moon, resulting in a stronger gravitational pull on the moon towards the planet.


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.


Does the moon produce gravitational force on the earth?

Yes. The moon produces considerable gravitational effects visible to anybody. The moon's gravity is responsible for the tides.


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 is the Moon's gravitational force responsible for?

Tides.


Does moon have gravitational force?

Every heavenly body due their mass have gravitational force. Since the moon is significantly less massive than Earth gravity on the moon is weaker than it is on Earth.


What is the relationship between Earth and gravitational force?

Earth has gravity or gravitational force that attracts the moon to the Earth.


Why the gravitational force of earths moon is very low?
