The moon is moving (around the sun)
IF the Earth's gravity suddenly stopped, the moon would continue to go around the sun.
IF all gravity stopped, the moon would travel in a straight line in whatever direction it was going in at the time.

Would the gravitational force between the moon and earth increase if the mass of earth increased?
yes, because according to newton's law of universal gravitation, the gravitational attraction between two objects depends on the masses of both of them (and also on the distance between them)
Which of the following forces exerted by the earth on the moon keeps the moon in orbit?
The Earth's gravitation.
What is gravitational force in space?
Same as on Earth. In both cases, you can use the law of gravitation to figure out with how much force an object gets attracted.Same as on Earth.

Why are the things on earth do not scrumble when the earth is turning around its axis?
Because the earth's gravitation force keeps things in place.
What does the connection and interaction between the sun and earth do?
The gravitational force between the two heavenly bodies will become 9 times more as the gravitation force between any two bodies in the universe is indirectly proportional to the square of distance between them.
Suppose the gravitation between Earth and the sun suddenly stopped What path would Earth follow?
the earth would rotate the moon or the next closest planet
Force of attraction between earth and sun?
Gravitation or Gravity
Why is gravitation so important?
its help keep all between earth and space balance i mean steady, without gravitation we will all be flawing into the atmosphere freely without control.
What could cause the gravity between the earth and the sun to decrease?
The mutual force of gravitation between the earth and the sun would decrease if the mass of either body decreased, or if the distance between them increased.
How is earth different from space?
Space is different from earth because space has no gravitation, earth has gravitation
Is Earth an example of gravitation energy?
ya
Why is everything stable if the earth moves fast?
due to the earth gravitation
What does the law of universal gravitation mean to us?
The law of universal gravitation establishes the ratio of two objects attraction based on mass and an inverse of distance. This means that people will stay on the earth because of their proximity, but that massive objects like the sun and Jupiter will not suddenly crash into each other because of their distance.
What is the formula needed to measure the earth's mass?
You use the universal formula for gravitation. Lab measurements - such as the Cavendish balance - are used to determine the constant, G. Once this is known, you can measure the force of gravity between a known mass, and Earth, and insert the values in the formula for gravitation.
What is the force of gravitation between the earth and a body at the centre of earth?
The gravitational force between the earth and a body at the center of the earth would be 0 Newtons or 0 lbf. F=G (m1*m2)/r^2 r = zero if the center of the body is at the center of the earth
What provide the force that produce centripital acceleration in orbit?
The gravitation of the central body. For example, for the Moon moving around the Earth, the centripetal force is the gravity between Earth and Moon.
What three things are involved in the law of universal gravitation?
force, created air,the gravitation on earth and the non gravitation in space because there has 2 be 2 because if not then there would only be one source gravitation or non gravition
