Even though the suns gravitational pull is stronger than the moons and does infact effect the tides slightly, the moon is close enough to pull the tides more than the sun. Its all distance related.

The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'


How much stronger is the earths gravity than the moons gravity?

The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's.


What is the the earths moons atmosphere?

There is no atmosphere on the moon. There is insufficient gravity to keep an atmosphere there.


Why is there the moons gravity is only16 of the earths?

The earth has a colossal size more mass


Why moon has less g value then earth?

The moons gravity is less than that of the earth, since the earths mass is greater than the moons mass. Gravity is related to mass and distance from that mass. The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational field it has.


What is the exact distance when the earths gravity becomes 0 or moons gravity takes over?

We are not sure. try looking it up on a different website


What is the gravity on the moon lo?

About 0.183g, where one g is the earths gravity, so about one fifth of the earths gravity. It is similar to our own moons surface gravity.


How does gravity affect the movement of the moons?

Earths gravity keeps the moon from flying off in the same way the sun keeps earth in balance.


Why do planets orbit stars and moons orbit stars?

Because stars have a greater amount of gravity


Does the planet with the most moons get the strongest gravity?

In our solar system, at least, the planet with the greatest mass does happen to be the one with the most known moons. But I think the cause and effect work the other way. It's not the moons that give the planet strong gravity. It's the strong gravity of the planet that captures a bunch of moons.


How would your weight change if you went from the Earth to the moon?

Your would weigh 1/6th as much as you do here on mother Earth. The how is our moons' mass, and therefore its' gravity, is about 1/6 as much as the Earths'. Its' gravity well is not as deep as the Earths.


How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?

Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.
