The only way the Earth's gravity would cease "pulling" on the Moon would be if the Earth itself were to be annihilated. Hopefully, this won't happen. If it did, though, the Moon would not stop moving due to the motion it is undergoing right now. Think of driving a car. When we let go of the accelerator, we stop applying a twisting force to the axle, meaning the car will no longer accelerate. It does not just stop instantly, of course. A force must be applied in order to slow the car down. This fact is due to its momentum--when an object is in motion, it has a certain amount of kinetic energy. The object will keep moving until work is done upon it, i.e. a force is applied over a distance, and the energy is depleted. The same laws of physics apply in space as they do on Earth, so the Moon is the same. The Earth's gravitational field is the accelerator keeping the Moon in orbit.
What would happen to the Moon if the Earth were annihilated? It would fly off in a straight line, tangent to the path of its current orbit. If you swing a ball on a string around, like the slingshots of yore, and let the string go, the ball will fly off in a straight line tangent to the circle at whatever place it was let go.
What else can I help you with?
Would the moon top moving if earths gravity did not pull on it?
If the Earth's gravity were to stop pulling on the moon, the moon would continue to move. It would, however, fling off away from the Earth rather than continuing in its orbit.
How deep would you have to drill into the moon to match earths gravity?
You could never match earth's gravity on the moon. You could not increase the amount of gravity on the moon by drilling.
What is the gravity on the moon lo?
About 0.183g, where one g is the earths gravity, so about one fifth of the earths gravity. It is similar to our own moons surface gravity.
What does the earths moon mean?
the earths moon helps sustsian the gravity on the earths oceancs keeping them in balance
Would you be able to jump on the moon?
you would be able to jump on the moon. the moon's gravity is 1/6 of earths gravity so there is a bit of gravit but not alot so you will be able to jump abit
How much smaller is the Moon's gravity to the earths?
The moon's gravity is one-sixth that of the Earth's;
Why does not the moon have gravity?
The moon does have gravity but it is much weaker it hase 1/6 of the earths gravity. wihout it how do you expect the men on the moon to stay on the moon?
Would the moon stop moving if gravity did not pull on it?
No. Rather the moon would shoot out into space in a straight line.
Is the moon held by earths gravity?
Yep!
Is held in its orbit by the Earths gravity?
the moon
How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?
Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.
Moon gravity vs earths gravity?
Moon gravity is less because the atmosphere and mass and the earths gravity is greater than the moon if you weight yourself in the earth and then you weighted yourself in the moon you would weight less in the moon you could actually float in the moon because of its atmosphere and mass
