Earth and moon pull on each other, with equal force. That's how gravity works.
As the result, earth and moon both revolve around their mutual center of mass ...
the point where the pivot would have to be in order for the earth and moon to
balance each other at opposite ends of a see-saw. Since the earth's mass is
about 80 times the moon's mass, the point around which the two bodies orbit
happens to be inside the earth, so somebody who's watching from far away
would swear that the moon orbits the earth while the earth stands still.
What else can I help you with?
How does the gravitational pull of the moon on the side of Earth facing the moon compare with its pull on the opposite side?
It is weaker
What keeps the moon from shooting out into space?
The gravitational pull of the earth. Gravity from the Earth pulls the moon towards it.
What type of tide is created when the sun's gravitational pull on earth is at its least?
A larger, more powerful tide to the side of the moon, and a weaker, smaller tide toward the sun
Explain how the Moon's gravitational pull can be observed on earth?
The tides are caused by the moon's gravitational pull. The moon pulls the water towards it. The moon also pulls the earth towards it, but just a bit less, so there is a bulge(the tide) in the Earth's ocean's on the side nearest the moon and on the side farthest from the moon.
Are tides higher when the moon was full?
yes because the earth and the moon push and pull with there gravitational pulls. and when the moon is full it has a stronger gravitational pull
What is the moon's gravitational pull relative to the earth's gravitational pull the moon?
The force of gravitation attracting the earth and moon toward each other is exactly the same force on both bodies.Just as the force of gravitation that attracts you toward the earth is exactly the same as the force that attractsthe earth toward you.
What is the Earth and tides are determined by the moon and pull.?
Earth's tides are determined by the moon's ________________ pull.
Why does the pull of gravity keeps the moon in orbit around earth rather than pulling the moon into earth?
The moon is in a constant state of freefall toward Earth due to Earth's gravity, but its forward motion also keeps it in orbit. This balance between the moon's forward velocity and the pull of Earth's gravity creates a stable orbit. If the moon's forward velocity were to decrease or the pull of Earth's gravity were to increase significantly, the moon could be pulled towards Earth.
How your weight would change with time if you were on a space ship traveling away from Earth toward the Moon.?
It would be Gravitational pull
How does the earth's moon affect the earth's bodies of water?
The moon's gravitational pull causes tides in Earth's bodies of water. This pull creates two bulges in the ocean, leading to high and low tides. The tides are strongest during full and new moons when the Earth, moon, and sun are aligned.
Does the law of universal gravitation also mean that the earth is attracted toward the moon?
In a way, yes, since the moon does have some sort of weak gravitational pull, the Earth would be somewhat attracted to it.
Why does the earth pull on the moon instead of the other way around?
Because the gravity of a larger object pulls the smaller ones toward them.
Which is greater the moon's pull on earth or earths pull on the moon?
The moon is only strong enough to push and pull the tides in the ocean on earth. The earths pull is so strong it moves the entire moon in circles.
What rotates toward the east moon or earth?
Earth
Does earth's gravity pull the moon outward?
No, the Earth's gravity pulls the moon in towards Earth.
What feels the strongest pull of attraction toward the earth and why?
Objects with a higher mass experience the strongest pull of attraction towards the Earth due to gravity. The force of gravity is directly proportional to an object's mass, so objects with a larger mass will have a greater gravitational pull toward the Earth.
Do tides change according to the moon?
Yes the moon had a gravitational pull on the earth just like how the earth had the pull on the moon that keeps it in orbit
