The Earth pulls on the Moon, and the Moon pulls on the Earth.
The Sun pulls on the Moon, and the Moon pulls on the Sun.
Mars pulls on the Moon (ever so slightly) and the Moon pulls on Mars.
Your body pulls on the Moon (hardly measurable, but it does) and the Moon pulls on your body.
The Moon and Sun and Earth's gravity pull (and push) Earth's oceans, and the ocean "tides" are the results.
What else can I help you with?
Is the gravitational force of earth and moon the same?
No, essentially mass = gravity the earths mass is roughly 81 * that of the moon, if you stood at the same distance from both, the force on you from the earth would be 81 * that of the moon.
Does gravity provide a centripetal force on the moon helping it stay in orbit around the earth?
Yes, gravity is the centripetal force that keeps the Moon in its orbit around the Earth. The gravitational force between the Earth and Moon provides the necessary inward force (centripetal force) to balance the outward inertial force and keep the Moon in a stable orbit.
Are The forces of the earth and moon are equal?
The force the Earth has on the Moon is exactly the same force the Moon has on the Earth. Since the Moons force on the Earth along with the Earth's force on Moon are acting on opposite directions this follows the concept of Newton's 3rd law.
Do The Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other?
Yes, the Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other. This force is responsible for the Moon orbiting around the Earth.
What is the most gravity force that creates tides?
The gravitational force exerted by the moon is the primary force that creates tides on Earth. The sun also contributes to tidal forces, but to a lesser extent than the moon. The interaction of these gravitational forces with Earth's rotation results in the daily patterns of tides.
What are the forces of going to the moon?
gravitational force is the force that goes on to the moon.
What is the ratio of force measurement on the moon?
Force is force. Whether it is measured on the moon or elsewhere: it is mass*acceleration (in the direction of the force).
What is the centripetal force holding the moon into Earth?
The force that holds the moon in place is gravity. Without gravity, there wouldn't be a moon.
Does Earth exert a contact or a non-contact force on the moon?
Earth exerts a non-contact force on the moon.
Is the gravitational force of earth and moon the same?
No, essentially mass = gravity the earths mass is roughly 81 * that of the moon, if you stood at the same distance from both, the force on you from the earth would be 81 * that of the moon.
How does the force of gravity on the moon compare to that on Earth?
The force of gravity on the moon is about one-sixth (1/6) of the force of gravity on Earth.
What force keeps the moon in orbit around the sun?
The force that keeps the moon in orbit around the sun is the gravitational force between the sun and the moon. This force causes the moon to continuously fall towards the sun but its orbital motion prevents it from colliding with the sun.
Does gravity provide a centripetal force on the moon helping it stay in orbit around the earth?
Yes, gravity is the centripetal force that keeps the Moon in its orbit around the Earth. The gravitational force between the Earth and Moon provides the necessary inward force (centripetal force) to balance the outward inertial force and keep the Moon in a stable orbit.
What the force on the spacecraft and force on the moon?
There are various forces acting on them, but a few forces which significantly decide their motion are: 1. On moon: Gravitational force due to earth and sun 2. On spacecraft: Gravitational force due to earth, moon and sun
What is the force on the Moon's surface compared to the force of gravity on earths surface?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of the earth's.
What force keeps a planet or moon in its orbit?
GravityCentripetal Force.
Are The forces of the earth and moon are equal?
The force the Earth has on the Moon is exactly the same force the Moon has on the Earth. Since the Moons force on the Earth along with the Earth's force on Moon are acting on opposite directions this follows the concept of Newton's 3rd law.
