Answer #1:

A gravitational force exists between every two masses.

Answer #2:

When you hold something in your hand and then let go of it, what usually happens to it ?

What does this tell you ?

Yes, Earth does exert gravitational force on anything with mass.

Mostly because we are much closer to the Earth than any other object.

What type of force does earth exert on a ball thrown in the air?

gravity


What is the force that pulls all objects to the earth?

GRAVITY... 2nd answer: The force that pulls all objects toward each other is gravity. The earth exerts the force of gravity on you, and you exert the force of gravity on the earth ( or your couch, dog, etc). We notice Earth's force of gravity because it is huge compared with the force of gravity of our bodies .... or the force of gravity of our bowling balls, and so forth.


Do the earth exert a force on the moon?

Yes, force of gravity. That is why it orbits the earth rather than flying off in a straight line.


Which object does gravity exert a greater force on?

The one with the greatest mass that is closest to the surface of the Earth.


Does earth the moon and sun have gravity?

Yes, they have gravity. In fact, anything that has mass will have a gravitational force - the more mass a body has, the more gravitational force it will exert.


What strong force pulls things towards the center of earth?

Gravity.


Is gravity the greatest force on earth?

No. The electric force, the strong nuclear force, and the electroweak force are all stronger than gravity.


Why do you have to use force to lift objects?

Because there is a force of gravity constantly pulling it towards the center of earth. When you exert enough force to over come the gravity acting on an object it is lifted


What force keeps the moon in orbit around the sun?

The force of gravity that they exert on each other, and the velocities of the Moon and Earth which is their "inertia".


How strong is the pull of gravity on Pluto?

Pluto's force of gravity is equal to 0.58m/s2, whereas the force of gravity on Earth is 9.81m/s2. Thus, the gravity on Pluto is about 6% that of the gravity on Earth.


Why does earth exert a stronger gravitational force than the monn?

The bigger an object is, the more gravity it has! Earth is much bigger than the moon, therefore it has stronger gravity.


Why can you jump higher on the moon than the earth?

When you jump, you exert a force greater than the force of gravity to achieve a net positive upward acceleration - at least until your feet leave the ground and you quit exerting force. The net upward force is Fnet = (force you push off with) - (force of gravity) Because the moon has less mass than the earth, the force of gravity is less. As a result, the force you exert to jump on earth would give a higher net upward acceleration on the moon and allow you jump higher.
