How does Newton's law of the universe gravitational apply to earth and the moon?

If it were not for the Earth's pull of gravity the moon would fly away from the Earth. The moon's pull of gravity on the Earth causes the tides.


More info about the earth and the moon?

Scientists are not sure how the moon was formed. The Theory I believe is that the moon was a piece of debris from an impact that fused together and got caught in Earth's Gravitational pull. The moon is slowly drifting away from the Earth and will one day fly away into space.


How does Newton law universal gravitation apply to Earth and the moon?

it applies to the earth and moon because their two objects in the universe that attract each other.


Why does the moon stay in its orbit and does not fly into space?

Same reason we don't fly into space. Gravity. There is no repulsive force trying to push the moon away. The only two forces involved (mostly) are the moon's forward velocity, and the Earth's gravitational pull. enertia is actually pulling the moon about a foot a year away from us


Is it quicker to fly to the moon than it is to the sun?

The moon is much close to the Earth and therefore is shorter to fly to.


Does the astronauts fly on moon due to earth gravity?

No


When will the moon fly off from the earth's orbit?

When gravity disappears, and pigs fly along with it.


Does the Moon fly into space?

hahahaa.....no it doesnt...if it would have...it would have flown away YEARS AGO....leaving back a dull night... on a serious note,the moon doesnt "fly" off into space because of gravity(the famous newton-apple thingy)...this gravitational pull binds the moon(planets and the whole solar system) into fixed orbits without which it would look like a terrible lot of crashing and "big bangs" among the planets, sun & the moons!


Why all things fly on moon?

Objects don't actually fly on the moon; they appear to fall more slowly because the moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's. This lower gravity allows objects to move more freely and fall more slowly when compared to Earth.


Why does the moon fly?

sorry but the moon does not fly


Which will fly farther a cannonball fired on earth or a cannonball fired on the moon?

The moon has no atmosphere and has less gravity than the earth. That means that a cannonball fired on the moon will travel further.


Why does the moon not fly off into space?

The moon stays in orbit around Earth due to gravity, just like how Earth orbits around the sun. The gravitational force between the Earth and the moon creates a balance, keeping the moon in a stable orbit.
