How does the force of gravity on the moon compare to that on Earth?
The force of gravity on the moon is about one-sixth (1/6) of the force of gravity on Earth.
Why that the moon has no gravitational force?
The moon does have gravity. It has 1/6 the gravity of earth.
What is the centripetal force holding the moon into Earth?
The force that holds the moon in place is gravity. Without gravity, there wouldn't be a moon.
How does the force of gravity from the earth affect the moon?
Gravity makes the Moon remain in orbit around Earth.
What is the force on the Moon's surface compared to the force of gravity on earths surface?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of the earth's.
What is the force for the moon orbiting the earth?
Gravity
When you moves from surface of earth towards moon gravity increases or decreases?
When you moves straight from the surface of the Earth toward the moon, the force of gravity attracting you to the Earth decreases, and the force of gravity attracting you to the moon increases. The Earth's gravity is the stronger one until you're about 73% of the way to the moon, and from there the moon's gravity is stronger. So, from the time you leave the Earth, the net gravitational force on you decreases, and becomes zero when you have completed about 73% of the trip. From that point until you reach the moon, the gravitational force increases again, and when you reach the moon, the force on you is about 1/6 as strong as it was on the Earth, but pulling towards the Moon.
If you weigh 100lbs on earth you would weigh 16.6lbs on the moon and why?
On the moon, gravity is about 1/6th of the gravity on Earth. Therefore, if you weigh 100lbs on Earth, you would weigh approximately 16.6lbs on the moon. This is because the force of gravity pulling you toward the moon is much weaker compared to the force of gravity pulling you toward Earth.
Gravity provides a centripetal force on the Moon helping it stay in orbit around Earth?
Correct! The force of gravity between the Earth and the Moon acts as a centripetal force, keeping the Moon in its orbit around the Earth. This balance between gravity and the Moon's inertia allows it to continuously move in a circular path around the Earth.
Is force of gravity on the Moon about 1 sixth of the gravity of the Earth?
Yes.
Is gravity the force that holds the moon in orbit around the earth?
Gravity
Why is the gravitational force on moon less than that of that of earth?
The gravitational force on the Moon is less than that on Earth because the Moon has less mass than Earth. Gravity is directly proportional to mass, so the smaller mass of the Moon results in a weaker gravitational force.
