The effects would only combine for an object outside the Earth-Moon system (such as an asteroid). Otherwise, objects near the Earth and Moon will experience gravitational effects from both. The Earth's gravity holds the Moon in its orbit, and the Moon's gravity affects the Earth, notably causing the ocean tides.

How does gravity affect the movement of the moons?

Earths gravity keeps the moon from flying off in the same way the sun keeps earth in balance.


How much stronger is the earths gravity than the moons gravity?

The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's.


Why is there the moons gravity is only16 of the earths?

The earth has a colossal size more mass


What is the the earths moons atmosphere?

There is no atmosphere on the moon. There is insufficient gravity to keep an atmosphere there.


How does the Moon's movement effect the tides?

The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'


How does gravity affect tides?

Tidal movements result mainly from the pull of the moons gravity on the ocean.

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.


Would having 2 moons affect the earths gravity why?

Another moon would not affect Earth's gravity. The gravity a body exerts is determined by its mass, not by the mass of objects affected by it. This would, however affect other things, chief among them tides, which are controlled by the gravity of the moon.


Do planets moons atmosphere effect its gravity?

No, a planet's moons and atmosphere do not directly affect its gravity. Gravity is primarily determined by the mass of the planet itself; the more massive the planet, the stronger its gravitational pull. While moons can influence tidal forces and an atmosphere can affect pressure and weather, they do not change the fundamental gravitational force exerted by the planet.


How would your weight change if you went from the Earth to the moon?

Your would weigh 1/6th as much as you do here on mother Earth. The how is our moons' mass, and therefore its' gravity, is about 1/6 as much as the Earths'. Its' gravity well is not as deep as the Earths.
