If they are farther apart, there is less gravitational pull. Opposite if they are closer together.
Both the Earth and the Moon have craters, which are depressions on the surface formed by impacts from asteroids or meteoroids. These craters can vary in size and shape, and can provide valuable information about the history of impacts on both celestial bodies.
Impacts played a significant role in the early solar system by helping to shape the planets and other celestial bodies. They contributed to the planet formation process by delivering materials and causing differentiation. Additionally, impacts were responsible for creating the craters we observe on many planetary surfaces today.
Yes, Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon, does have craters on its surface. These craters are formed by impacts from asteroids and other celestial bodies over the moon's history. Ganymede's craters provide valuable information about the moon's geological history and the history of impacts in the Jovian system.
The moon does not have any holes in the traditional sense. It is a rocky celestial body with craters formed from impacts by meteoroids, asteroids, and comets over billions of years.

The large outer planets, particularly Jupiter, are believed to act as giant gravitational "vacuum cleaners" or shields to absorb or deflect objects which might result in dangerous impacts with Earth. Despite this, there is abundant evidence of meteorite impacts on Earth's surface, although these can get gradually obliterated by geological (and sometimes biological) processes. Although not strictly a celestial object, the atmosphere of Earth also causes many smaller objects to get deflected away or burn up in the atmosphere preventing their impact upon Earth's surface. Additionally, the Earth's own geomagnetic field protects against dangerous effects of the solar wind which might otherwise turn Earth into a world hostile to our familiar life forms.
Asteroids get caught in Earth's gravitational pull. Asteroids become meteroids when they enter Earth's atmosphere. Meteroids becomes meteors when they light up due to friction. Meteors become meteorites when they hit Earth's surface.
Yes, asteroids can lose their orbit due to various reasons such as gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies, impacts by other objects, or influences from the Yarkovsky effect (radiation-induced forces). In some cases, these factors can cause an asteroid to be ejected from its orbit entirely or sent on a new trajectory.
There are blocks of ice there too! (maybe from comets that have been captured) The rings are probably debris from impacts between asteroids and the moons of Saturn with the possibility that some moons have been entirely torn apart by impacts or gravitational pull from the mother planet and other moons.
Hallbeck Hall was not left as an attraction due to concerns about safety, maintenance costs, and potential negative impacts on the surrounding community. The decision to demolish or repurpose the building was likely based on these factors rather than leaving it as an attraction.
There are only 3 variables. Your mass, the mass of the planet or moon that you are on, and the diameter of that planet or moon. You can then mathematically determine your weight in accordance with Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
Both the Earth and the Moon have craters, which are depressions on the surface formed by impacts from asteroids or meteoroids. These craters can vary in size and shape, and can provide valuable information about the history of impacts on both celestial bodies.
From a purely naturalistic point of view, the answer would have to be "no". Earth was the result of numerous shards of rock being drawn together by their mutual gravitational attraction and compounded by asteroid impacts. If you choose to believe in a supernatural explanation, then all possibilities remain open to you.
Gravity impacts different objects based on their mass and distance from a gravitational force. Objects with greater mass experience a stronger gravitational pull, causing them to attract other objects towards them. The force of gravity weakens with distance, so objects farther away experience less gravitational pull. Generally, gravity causes objects to be pulled towards each other, affecting their motion and interactions in the universe.

Retrograde motion refers to the clockwise rotation of a planet as opposed to the more common counterclockwise rotation. This phenomenon is rare in our solar system, with Venus being the only planet that exhibits retrograde rotation. The exact reasons for Venus's retrograde rotation are not fully understood but may be due to past impacts or gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies.
