What force holds the earths moon system together?
The gravitational force is what holds the Earth-Moon system together. Earth's gravity pulls the Moon toward it, creating a stable orbit. Simultaneously, the Moon's gravity exerts a pull on the Earth, affecting tides and contributing to the dynamic relationship between the two bodies. This mutual gravitational attraction is essential for maintaining the orbital balance of the system.
Why is the Moon's orbital velocity slowest when the moon is farthest from earth?
The Moon's orbital velocity is slowest when it is farthest from Earth due to the principles of gravitational dynamics and orbital mechanics. According to Kepler's laws, specifically the law of areas, an object in orbit moves slower when it is farther from the central body because the gravitational pull is weaker at that distance. Consequently, the Moon travels along a more elongated elliptical orbit, resulting in reduced speed at apogee (the farthest point from Earth). This relationship highlights how gravitational force influences orbital motion.
Why the gravitational force of earths moon is very low?
The moon is small.
How does the moon and the sun effect the earths oceans?
The gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon, effect the earths oceans by forming tides.
How does Earth has gravity?
the earths gravitational pull keeps the moon in orbit
When spacecraft goes on moon how it revolves after leaving earths gravitational pull?
ahhh now.... When a spacecraft leaves earths atmoshere it does not leave earths gravitational pull! the moon itself is in earths gravitational pull. which is what stops the moon from floating away so as far as i can imagine if you put a space craft on the moon you have not left earths gravitational pull or the E.G.P
What is the relationship between the moon and a planet in terms of gravitational influence?
The moon and a planet have a gravitational relationship where the planet's gravity pulls the moon towards it, causing the moon to orbit around the planet. The moon's gravity also affects the planet, causing tides and other gravitational interactions.
Do the Earth and the Moon have the same gravitational pull?
No. Earths in much more powerful.
Is the Moon's gravitional pull stronger or weaker than the earths?
The moons gravitational attraction is weaker as the moon is smaller
How could you determine mass of the moon?
To determine the mass of the Moon, you can use the gravitational attraction between the Moon and a spacecraft or an object in orbit around it. By measuring the orbital parameters of the spacecraft, such as its orbital radius and period, you can apply Kepler's third law of planetary motion. This law relates the orbital period to the mass of the Moon, allowing you to calculate its mass using the formula ( M = \frac{4\pi^2 r^3}{G T^2} ), where ( G ) is the gravitational constant, ( r ) is the orbital radius, and ( T ) is the orbital period.
Why does the moon have more gravitational pull on the Earths oceans than the moon if the sun is so massive?
It is because the moon is much closer to the earth. Gravitational pull decreases in proportion to the square of the distance.
Is it true that tides are created by the difference between the gravitational force at Earths surface and at Earths center?
Yes, that's basically what causes tides. ===================== And the moon. Lets not forget its role.
