Well, honey, if Earth suddenly stopped exerting its gravitational force on the moon, that bad boy would just float off into space like a lost balloon at a birthday party. Gravity is what keeps the moon in orbit around Earth, so without it, the moon would go off on its own cosmic adventure. Just imagine the chaos of tides and werewolves without our trusty lunar sidekick!

What would happen to the moon if the earth stopped exerting the force of gravity on it?

If the Earth stopped exerting the force of gravity on the moon, it would slingshot away from the earth, but because of the gravitational pull of the sun, it would eventually settle into a stable orbit around the sun.


When you stand on a bathroom scale it displays the that Earth is exerting on you?

The bathroom scale displays the force that Earth's gravity is exerting on you, which is your weight. This force is the product of your mass and the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2).


What is the action and reaction of earth gravity pulls down on you?

The Earth pulls down on you, but you pull up on the Earth!


What will happen to earth gravity?

There's no known reason why anything should happen to Earth's gravity, and nothing is expected to.


Does the earth or Venus have more gravity?

Earth (by definition has a gravity exerting a pull of 1g. Venus is almost the same as Earth but the pull of gravity there is 0.904g. So Earth has more gravity.


What would happen to earth if gravity fails?

It will never happen because the earth's gravity is caused by it's mass and it's density.


What is the action reaction pair involved when an apple falls to the ground?

The action is the apple exerting a force on the Earth due to gravity, causing it to accelerate downward. The reaction is the Earth exerting an equal and opposite force on the apple, preventing it from falling indefinitely.


Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is diffrent?

Because the force of gravity exerting on objects on the moon is much lower than that of the earth.


What is the action and reaction when earth gravity pulls down on a book?

The action is the Earth's gravity pulling down on the book. The reaction is the book exerting an equal and opposite force upwards on the Earth, though it is so small that it is essentially negligible.


What would happen to earth if the sun's gravity suddenly stopped acting on it?

Gravity is an inherent property of matter; it is unrelated to the Earth's rotation. You may be asking if the centripetal force of the Earth's rotation is significantly counteracting the Earth's gravity. The answer is, "No." If the Earth were not rotating, your apparent weight would be no more than about 5% more than it is. If the Earth stopped in it's orbit, then we would probably crash into the sun. This would happen because there is gravity and centrifugal force keeping the Earth in orbit. If the centrifugal force stopped, but gravity kept going then we would keep going until we hit something. Just like in space, If something is pushed by a greater force, it keeps going until something bigger stops it. This is Newtons first law of motion.


What would happen if earths supply of energy stopped?

If the earth's supply of energy stopped, Caveman time!


What do you think would happen to the atmosphere if there was no gravity?

All the objects will float if there will be no gravity. Gravity is the earth's pull on objects.
