What is the relationship between the earth and moon?
The Moon gives the Earth tides and the Earth keeps the Moon orbiting the Earth because of the gravitational pull.
What exerts a strong pull on water in the ocean?
The Moon's gravitational pull on our planet causes the ebb and flow, (rise and fall), of our earth's oceans.
Newton figured out that the force that made an apple fall from a tree was the same as the one keeping the Moon in orbit around Earth?
The legend is that Newton made the connection between the 2 questions when he watched the falling apple ........... Newton realized that the same unbalanced force affected the motions of the apple and the moon.It all has to do with gravity. The moon pulls the waves with the force pulling up or rising the waves, well the apple is brought to the ground with the force or the gravity on Earth.Legend says that Newton, said that the force that made the apple fall from the tree, makes earth fall from the sun and the moon fall from the earth. This force operates throughout the Universe and is a Universal Force..
Which eclipses occur when the tilt of the moon's orbit around the earth is tilted at zero to the earth's orbit?
This is when a Solar Eclipse occurs, the total eclipse happens when the moon's apparent size is bigger than the sun's and the moon blocks out nearly all of the sun's light - thus making stars appear.
Tides in the sea are caused by-?
Tides result mostly from the mutual gravitational attraction between the earth and the moon. The sun's gravity plays a part in magnifying the effects of the tides, but over-all the moon's effect is stronger. The part of earth facing the moon, and the opposite part of earth (180 degrees of longitude away) have similar tides. This is counter-intuitive, isn't it? How could there be high tides on opposites sides of the planet? The earth and moon can be roughly thought of as a double planet, or binary system. The earth and moon orbit around each other in a sense. They actually orbit around their mutual center of gravity, the barycenter. Because the earth's mass is so much greater than the moon's, the earth-moon barycenter happens to be within the body of the earth. Have your big, jolly and friendly uncle go out in the yard with you with a length of rope. Each hold an end, and carefully start swinging around each other as you pull on the rope. Chances are, you will be moving a lot; Uncle Joe may not have to move much, but the faster you go, the more he will have to make a circle with his center of gravity in order to keep you in your circle. As the earth and moon orbit the barycenter, the same thing happens; you would witness a wobble in earth's movement that is keeping step with the moon's orbit. The 'back' side of the earth pushes out, adding to the effect of tides on the side farthest from the moon. Also, since that part of earth is farther from the moon, the moon's over-all gravity is less strong than it is on the moon-side of earth.
Would a feather fall faster or slower on earth than the moon?
A feather would fall faster on Earth than on the Moon due to Earth's stronger gravitational pull. The Moon has less gravity than Earth, so objects fall more slowly on the Moon.
Does an apple fall faster on the moon or earth?
On the earth because the earth has stronger gravity than the moon
How objects fall on Earth and on the moon?
Objects fall towards the ground due to gravity on both Earth and the moon. However, the acceleration due to gravity is higher on Earth than on the moon, so objects fall faster on Earth compared to the moon. Additionally, the lack of atmosphere on the moon affects the way objects fall by reducing air resistance.
Why does paper fall faster on the moon?
Faster than on Earth? The reason it falls slowly on Earth is because of air resistance. You can also make it fall quickly on Earth if you make it fall within a vacuum chamber.
If the earth spins faster would the moon go faster around the earth?
No. The speed of the moon's orbit does not depend on Earth's spin; it depends on Earth's mass. However, a faster spin on Earth's part would make the moon appear to move across the sky faster, as it would for the sun and stars.
What would fall faster on the moon a object with more mass or an object with less mass?
In the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass, as demonstrated by Galileo's experiment on Earth. Therefore, on the moon, an object with more mass would not fall faster than an object with less mass.
Why does the Moon's shadow fall on part of the earth?
Because the moon comes between the sun and Earth, casting the moon's shadow on Earth.
Why does the moon not fall to earth because of what force or phenomenon?
The moon does not fall to Earth because of its orbit and the force of gravity. The moon's speed and distance from Earth create a balance between the gravitational pull of the Earth and the moon's inertia, keeping it in a stable orbit.
Why does the moon not fall to Earth?
The moon does not fall to Earth because of its orbit and the balance between its gravitational pull and its forward motion. The moon's speed and distance from Earth keep it in a stable orbit around our planet.
Why doesn't the moon fall to the earth?
The moon doesn't fall to the earth because of its orbit and the balance between its gravitational pull and its forward motion. The moon's speed and distance from the earth keep it in a stable orbit.
Will you fall of the moon?
Yes, but not as hard as on Earth.
Why does a paper fall differently on the moon than on earth?
because of gravity. the paper will not actually fall onto the moon but rise up. earth has 10.0n of gravity and the moon has much less, so it wont fall but rise.
