How would the moon travel if it was not for the pull of earths gravity?
It would orbit around one of the other planets, orbit around the sun, or become part of the Asteroid or Kiper Belt.
How does the Suns gravity compared to earths gravity?
The sun gravity is stronger
The ratio of the earths gravity to the suns gravity?
No meaningful comparison is possible without specifying that the distance from both bodies will be the same at the moment of measurement. If you measured the acceleration due to gravity (or your weight) some distance from the sun, and then measured the acceleration due to gravity (or your weight) at the same distance from the Earth, you would find that the measurement in the vicinity of the sun is about 332,982 times the corresponding measurement at the Earth. It doesn't matter what the distance is, as long as both are the same.
How earths distance from the sun change throughout the year?

What is the percentage of earths gravity?
The percentage of Earth's gravity on the surface of the Moon is about 16.5%.
A meteor is an asteroid that has been captured by a planet's or a moon's gravity and has been pulled away from the sun's gravity true or false?
False. A meteor is a small rocky or metallic body that enters a planet's atmosphere and burns up, creating a streak of light in the sky. It comes from a meteoroid, which is a smaller fragment of an asteroid or comet that has entered the Earth's atmosphere.
What is the exact distance when the earths gravity becomes 0 or moons gravity takes over?
We are not sure. try looking it up on a different website
Who came up with the moon?
The moon was created when another planet slammed into Earth - the Earths gravity captured the particles and the formed to become our moon.
Which force acts from a distance to play a role both in the formation of tides and mass movements on earths surface?
Gravity.
What can be said about the force of earths gravity pulling on the books?
Earths gravity acts on everything from its center of gravity to everything else's center of gravity.
What was the name of the asteroid that passed earths orbit recently in February 2013?
The asteroid does not have a name, but has the designation 2012 DA14
When an asteroid is burning up in earths atmosphere it is called what?
meteor

How close does an asteroid have to be sucked into earths gravitational pull?
There is no real distance at which this occurs. Asteroids are generally moving too fast to be simply pulled in by earth's gravity, though their paths can be altered. As evidence of this, ab object that is simply pulled in by Earth's gravity would strike the surface at close to escape velocity, which is about 25,000 mph for Earth. Most asteroids are moving much faster. In many cases, a collision happens when an orbital resonance develops. Earth's gravity periodically jostles the asteroid's path so that it will pass fairly close to earth at regular intervals until that paths intersect and a collision occurs.
Which planets surface gravity is 38 percent that of earths?
Both mercury and mars have a gravity which is around 38% of earths. Mercury's gravity is 37.8% of earths, Mars' gravity is 37.7% of earths.
