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.
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
On Earth, not much ; it is pretty far away, and not very massive.
It decreases as you move away from the earth surface
The acceleration due to gravity of Uranus at its "surface" is about 8.69 m/s2. On Earth is it 9.8 m/s2. This means that Earth's gravity is about 13% larger than Uranus's gravity. Uranus is more massive than Earth, but mass is only half of what makes a gravitational pull. Uranus's gravitational pull is smaller that Earth's because it's "surface" is farther away from it's center.
Gravitational attraction between Earth and objects is determined by their mass and distance. The more massive an object is, the stronger the attraction. Similarly, the closer an object is to Earth, the stronger the gravitational pull.
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.
Because the sun is 93 million miles away, whereas the earth is, well, right here!
Because the mountain is farther away from the gravitational centre of the Earth.
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.
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.

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.
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.
== == 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. == == == == == == == ==

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.
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.
