If what you are asking is whether the Earth or the Moon has more gravitational force on a given object the answer is the equation F = G*m1*m2/r^2. In short since the Earth has a larger mass than the moon it will exert a greater gravitational force on a given object. But sometimes it may not seem like it because of air resistance.

Who has more gravity the moon are the earth?

The earth exerts a stronger gravitational force.


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.


How many times the gravitational force of earth is greater than moon?

The gravitational force of Earth is about 6 times greater than that of the Moon. This means that an object on Earth weighs about 6 times more than it would on the Moon due to the difference in gravitational pull between the two bodies.


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.


The moon orbits the earth and not the sun because its closer to the earth making the gravitational force acting on it due to the earth more significant than that of the sun?

The moon orbits the Earth because of the gravitational pull of the Earth, not because it is closer to the Earth. The force of gravity depends on mass, so the more massive object (in this case, the Earth) has a greater gravitational pull on the smaller object (the Moon). This gravitational force keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth.


Does the moon have stronger gravitational force than the earth?

No the Earth would pull u more than the moon


Does the moons gravitational force stronger than earths gravitational force?

No the Earth would pull u more than the moon


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.


Why the moon orbits around earth not the sun?

The Moon orbits around the Earth because it is under the gravitational influence of Earth. This gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth. The Sun's gravitational force is much stronger, but the Moon's orbit around the Earth is stable due to the balance between these gravitational forces.


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.


What force causes the moon to stay in orbit around the earth?

Earth's gravitational pull. See attached link for more information.


Why does earth exerts a greater force than the moon?

There are two reasons: The Earth is more massive than the Moon, and the Earth is closer to you than the Moon. If you were standing on the Moon, then the force of gravity due to the Moon would be greater because you are closer to the Moon.
