There's no limit to the distance at which Earth's gravity is effective, and no limit to the

distance that two bodies can separate and still move in mutual gravitational orbits.

Why doesn't the moon fly away from the earth?

The moon stays in orbit around Earth due to the gravitational force between them, which keeps the moon in balance between moving away and falling towards Earth. This balance maintains the moon's orbit around Earth.


Why doesn't the suns gravitational force affected you more than earths gravitational force does?

Because the sun is 93 million miles away, whereas the earth is, well, right here!


Why Would a person weigh less on top of a mountain than on earths surface?

Because the mountain is farther away from the gravitational centre of the Earth.


What percent of earths gravity does sun have?

The Sun's gravity is about 28 times stronger than Earth's gravity at the surface of the Earth. However, because the Sun is much farther away than Earth's own radius, its gravitational influence on Earth is significantly weaker compared to Earth's own gravitational pull.


Where is earths moon located?

Earth's moon is located approximately 384,400 kilometers (238,855 miles) away from Earth in space. It orbits around Earth in a slightly elliptical path, which takes about 27.3 days to complete a full 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


Would an object have a greater gravitational pull closer or farther from earth?

An object have greater gravitational pull closer from earth. As we get farther from earth, the gravitational pull becomes weaker. That is why objects sufficiently away from the earth do not fall on it.


Why does the moon not get pulled towards the earth?

Allthough moon is pulled by earths gravitational field but due to another forces like centrifugal force of moon which is developed by moon while revolving around earth keep it away form collpsing with earth. Also there are many other bodies in space which neutralize the gravitational pull of earth to moon.


Is a gravitational field?

== == This is what keeps Earth in place. If there was no gravitational feilds, the Earth would crash into other planets, and space objects. It pushes the moon away from the Earth and the sun pushes the Earth away. Like repelling magnets. == == == == == == == ==

Are satellites outside the earths gravitational pull?

No. It's the mutual gravitational force between it and the earth that keeps a satellitein a closed orbit, instead of flying off away from earth in a straight line.Technically, there's no such thing as "outside of" the gravitational force of anything.We can calculate the gravitational force between a star in a distant galaxy and the earth.In fact, we can calculate the gravitational force between a star in a distant galaxy and you.The force is pretty small, but it's there.


Over millions of years the moon is moving further away from the earth what will happen to the gravitational attraction between the moon and the earth as the moon gets further away?

As the moon gets further and further away, the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon decreases. Because the Moon is not being attracted but being pushed away from the Earth. If the gravitational force would have increased, the moon would come closer and closer to the Earth.
