What else can I help you with?
Why are you NOT weightless on the moon?
Because the Moon has mass, a LOT of mass. If something has mass, it will have gravitational attraction. The more mass, the greater the attraction. The moon has ~1/6th the gravity as the Earth.
The centripetal force acting on the moon continuously changes the of the Moon's motion?
The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.
Why does the gravitational attraction between earth and the moon changes each day?
The gravitational attraction between the Earth and the Moon does not change significantly on a daily basis. However, the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun do create variations in the gravitational forces experienced, leading to phenomena like tides.
How many times the gravitational force of earth is greater than moon?
The gravitational force of Earth is about 6 times greater than that of the Moon. This means that an object on Earth weighs about 6 times more than it would on the Moon due to the difference in gravitational pull between the two bodies.
What keeps the Moon from floating away?
The Earth's gravitational force keeps it from moving away into outer space. (* Gravity is a mutual force of attraction between matter, so the Earth pulls on the Moon while the Moon pulls on the Earth.)

Why gravitational attraction on moon is one-sixth of the gravitational attraction on earth?
The moons mass is 1/6th the mass of the Earth.
Does gravity from the moon and earth form tides?
No, it is the gravitational attraction of the moon.
What connection does the moon sun and earth have with earthquakes?
Gravitational attraction

Tides on the Earth are primarily due to the mutual gravitational attraction between the Earth and?
Earth and the moon.
Why does the moon continue in its path around the Earth?
It is held in its orbit by the mutual gravitational attraction between the earth and the moon.
How many times the gravitational force of earth is greater than moon?
The gravitational force of Earth is about 6 times greater than that of the Moon. This means that an object on Earth weighs about 6 times more than it would on the Moon due to the difference in gravitational pull between the two bodies.
The gravitational attraction between the moon and the earth extends how far?
The gravitational fields of both the Earth and Moon extend to infinity, but they reduce as 1 / distance-squared.
Why will the moon probably never be destroyed by the earth gravitational attraction?
The moon will probably never be destroyed by the Earth's gravitational attraction because it is in a stable orbit. Its orbit is kept stable by its high velocity, therefore the only way Earth's gravitational attraction could pull the moon out of its orbit and towards the Earth is if its course is changed or it is slowed down tremendously, perhaps by a large impact such as a meteor.
What keeps the Moon from floating away?
The Earth's gravitational force keeps it from moving away into outer space. (* Gravity is a mutual force of attraction between matter, so the Earth pulls on the Moon while the Moon pulls on the Earth.)
