All mass has a gravitational attraction to every other mass in the universe.

The attractive force of gravity is dependent on the mass of the objects in question, and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. So very massive objects like the Sun and Saturn exert enough force to keep Saturn in its orbit, instead of flying off into space.

What causes a bulge to be created on the opposite side of the moon?

The gravitational pull of the earth causes a bulge on the opposite side of the moon. The gravitational pull of the earth is greater than the gravitational pull of the sun.


Would an object have a greater gravitational pull closer or farther from earth?

An object have greater gravitational pull closer from earth. As we get farther from earth, the gravitational pull becomes weaker. That is why objects sufficiently away from the earth do not fall on it.


Jupiters relations to other planets?

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and is the fifth planet from the sun. It is known for its strong magnetic field and numerous moons. Jupiter's gravitational influence has a significant impact on the orbits of other planets, particularly the inner planets like Earth and Mars.


When is the moon gravition pull the strongest?

The Moon's gravitational pull will be strongest when the Moon is closest to the Earth.The Moon's gravitational pull will be strongest when the Moon is closest to the Earth.The Moon's gravitational pull will be strongest when the Moon is closest to the Earth.The Moon's gravitational pull will be strongest when the Moon is closest to the Earth.


What happens when you get out of Earths gravitational pull?

When you reach beyond Earth's gravitational pull, you enter outer space. Objects in space continue to be influenced by the gravitational forces of other celestial bodies such as the sun, planets, and stars. Becoming free from Earth's gravitational pull allows spacecraft to travel to other planets and explore the universe.

If an apple has a mass of 1kg what is its weight?

well depends what planet you are on the basic formulae is as follows weight = mass X gravitational field (gravitational pull) on each planet so depending on what planet you wish to know ill put int the answer .
