The force the Earth has on the Moon is exactly the same force the Moon has on the Earth. Since the Moons force on the Earth along with the Earth's force on Moon are acting on opposite directions this follows the concept of Newton's 3rd law.

Are the forces between Earth and the Moon a Newtonian third law pair?
Yes. The gravitational forces between the Earth and moon are equal and opposite ...just like the gravitational forces between everytwo objects are.
Is the moon pulled by the earth's gravity?
Yes. the mutually attracting forces of gravity hold the moon and earth together and cause the earth's tidal forces.
Which of the following forces exerted by the earth on the moon keeps the moon in orbit?
The Earth's gravitation.
Why is the moon moving all the time?
Earth's gravity forces the moon into an orbit
what forces act upon the moon as it is orbiting earth?
Gravity hold the moon in orbit

What distance from the Earth will a spacecraft traveling directly from the Earth to the Moon experience zero net force because the Earth and Moon pull with equal and opposite forces?
When the Earth/Moon distance is 238,000 miles, it's in the neighborhood of 214,100 miles from Earth, 23,900 miles from the moon. The answer can't be rock-solid, because the Earth/Moon distance is so variable.
Which of the following forces exerted by the earth on the moon keeps the moon in orbit?
The Earth's gravitation.
What occurs as a result of the Moon's gravity?
As a result of gravity, there exists a pair of equal forces between the Earth and moon, attracting each of them toward the other one, causing the moon to remain in orbit.
Does the earth attract the moon with a force that is greater or smaller or the same as the force with which the moon attracts the earth?
In a gravitational situation, the forces are exactly equal in both directions.-- The Earth attracts the moon with a force that is exactly the same as the forcewith which the moon attracts the Earth.-- You attract the Earth with exactly the same amount of force as the Earth attracts you.-- Your weight on Earth is exactly the same as the Earth's weight on you.
Is the moon more massive than the earth?
No. The earth's mass is equal to about 82 times the moon's mass. (Moon's mass is equal to about 1.2% of the earth's mass.)
What is between the moon and earth causes tides in oceans?
Mutual gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are.
What forces causes the synchronous rotation keeps the same side of the Moon facing the Earth?
Tidal forces cause the moon to be in a 1 to 1 resonance with the earth.
Why is the moon moving all the time?
Earth's gravity forces the moon into an orbit
What produces tidal range?
the combined forces of the sun and the moon on Earth produces tidal ranges.
What forces affect tides?
Tides are caused by the gravitational forces on Earth from the Moon and the Sun.
