The molecules in solids are more solidly held in place; so they are not as easy to move. The molecules in liquids are not fixed, but are free to move around; so they can be pulled more easily.

Why is the gravitation pull on liquids more noticeable than the pull on solids?

The gravitational pull on liquids can be more noticeable than on solids because liquids are less rigid and have the ability to flow and deform. This allows liquids to respond more readily to the gravitational force, creating noticeable effects such as waves, tides, and the movement of liquids in containers. Solids, on the other hand, typically have a fixed shape and are less responsive to gravitational forces.


Why is the moon's pull more noticeable in liquids than in solids?

The moon's pull creates tides by exerting a gravitational force on Earth's oceans, causing them to bulge outward. Liquids, like water, can freely flow and respond to this force by moving in response to the tidal pull. In contrast, solids are more rigid and resistant to deformation, so the effects of the moon's pull are less noticeable in them.


Can you pull the earth?

The force of gravity is a mutual attraction; the Earth pulls on you, and you pull on the Earth. Of course, the effect on you is more noticeable, given the difference in weight.


Do only planets exert gravity?

No. Anything with mass exerts a gravitational pull. The strength of that pull is directly proportional to an object's mass and most objects do not have enough mass of their gravity to be noticeable. It starts to become noticeable with objects on the level of large asteroids and comets and small moons. Stars, which are far more massive than planets, have far stronger gravity. Black holes have the strongest gravity in the universe.


Why do you weigh more in one planet then in another?

You have the same mass anywhere, but you weigh more or less on a planet depending on the gravitaional pull of the planet. The more gravitational pull, the more you weigh. The gravitational pull depends on the size of the planet. The bigger the planet, the more gravitaional pull.

What seismic wave moves in a push-pull motion?

P-waves, or Primary waves, are seismic waves that move in a push-pull motion. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.


what is the pull on the surface of liquids that allows liquids to form drop when they fall?

It is surface tension.


Which earthquake waves travel through matter with a push pull motion?

Primary (P) waves, also known as compressional waves, travel through matter with a push-pull motion. These waves are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.


Earthquakes fastest waves that push and pull?

The fastest waves produced by an earthquake are called P-waves, or primary waves, that push and pull the ground in the direction of their movement. These waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases and are the first to be detected by seismographs during an earthquake event.


Does the moon's gravity pull on all liquids?

Yes


The pull on the surface of liquids that allow liquids to form drops when they fall are called?

The pull on the surface of liquids that allow liquids to form drops when they fall are called surface tension. This property is due to the cohesive forces between liquid molecules at the surface.


Why do solids tend to hold their shape?

there is a great pull between the molecules!


What bends light the most gas solid liquid or water?

How much light is bent is a result of the refractive index of the medium. In general solids have higher refractive indices than liquids or gases. Note that the ultimate beinding of light is total reflection - ie bending the light 180 degrees to come straight back to the source.
