No. The Moon's mass is only about 1/81 of the Earth, and gravity is dependent on mass and distance. Lunar surface gravity is about 1/6 that of Earth beause the Moon's surface is closer to the center of mass.

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.


Who has more gravity the moon are the earth?

The earth exerts a stronger 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.


Earth exerts a stronger gravitational force than the moon because Earth has more?

mass. Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object, so Earth's greater mass results in a stronger gravitational pull compared to the moon.


Does the moon have stronger gravitational force than the earth?

No the Earth would pull u more than the moon


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.


Does the moons gravitational force stronger than earths gravitational force?

No the Earth would pull u more than the moon


Why does the gravitational force between the Earth and moon predominate over electrical forces?

Between the Earth and the Moon, for example, there is no net electrical force. So the weaker gravitational force, which is only attracts, remains as the predominant force between these bodies.


Why doesn't the sun pull the moon away from the earth?

The gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon is stronger than the gravitational force between the Sun and the Moon. This is why the Moon stays in orbit around the Earth instead of being pulled away by the Sun.


Why does the moon orbit the Earth and not the Sun?

The moon orbits the Earth because of the gravitational pull between the two bodies. This gravitational force is stronger between the Earth and the moon compared to the Sun and the moon, causing the moon to primarily orbit around the Earth.


How the gravitational force of earth is different from gravitational force of moon?

The gravitational force on Earth is stronger than on the Moon because Earth has a larger mass and radius. This means objects on Earth weigh more than on the Moon. Additionally, the gravitational force on the Moon is more consistent across its surface compared to the variations on Earth due to factors like mountains and oceans.


Would you feel heaviest on earth or on moon?

You would feel heaviest on Earth due to its stronger gravitational pull compared to the Moon. The gravitational force on the Moon is about one-sixth that of Earth, which would make you weigh less on the Moon than on Earth.
