Their masses. The strength of a planetary body's gravitational field is directly related to its mass, and its effect on an object is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of the bodies.

What is the relationship between Earth and gravitational force?
Earth has gravity or gravitational force that attracts the moon to the Earth.
Why does the gravitational force between the Earth and moon predominate over electrical forces?
Between the Earth and the Moon, for example, there is no net electrical force. So the weaker gravitational force, which is only attracts, remains as the predominant force between these bodies.
Is the greater an objects velocity the stronger the gravitational force on it?
Gravitational forces between objects depend only on their masses and the distance between them. Velocity has no effect.
Only the earth exerts gravitional force on all object is it true?
Anything with mass include you and me do exert gravitational force but the earth is massive so it exert more force than any of any small object including us on earth. The gravitational force is done between two mass in following general gravitational law by Newton. F = G.M1m2/R2 We sum up G.M1/R2 as gravity = 9.81 m/s2 for M1 is earth and R = earth radius Between 2 man with m1 and m2 respectively, gravitational force between these two man is at F = G.m1m2/L2 where L = distance between center of mass (you and me for instance). Gravitational force is small compare to earth's gravitational force but it does exist.
Earth orbits the sun as a result of a centripetal force that is caused by?
The mutual force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and Sun.
Does the gravitational force vary with the distance between earth and sun?
The gravitational force between the Earth and sun certainly depends on the distance between the Earth and sun. But the gravitational force between, for example, the Earth and me does not.
What is the relationship between Earth and gravitational force?
Earth has gravity or gravitational force that attracts the moon to the Earth.
Is the force between the sun and the earth stronger then the force between the sun and the moon?
yes because remember the gravitational forces depend on mass and distance. The Earth is more massive than the moon.
What is the gravitational force between the Earth and your body called?
Your weight. Weight is the definition of the force between the earth and other objects. Thus you weight is the gravitational force acting on you from the earth.
Difference between gravitational force and force of gravity?
force of gravity is d gravitational force of earth but gravitational force is force of attraction for any heavenly body
What is the Name of the force of attraction between an object and earth?
gravitational force
What is the force between an object and earth's gravity pulling on it?
Gravitational force.
What is the force between the earth and a body on earth?
The gravitational constant on Earth is 10 Newtons per kg (well exactly about 9.81 Newtons)
What are the two thing that the amount of gravitational force between two object depend on?
newten force
Which force holds Earth in its orbit?
The mutual force of gravitational attraction between the sun and the earth.
Why does weight depend on earth's gravitational force?
The scientific definition of weight is that it is the the force of gravity acting on an object.
At what height in kilometers above the surface of the Earth is there a 4 percent difference between the approximate gravitational force mg and the actual gravitational force on an object?
