A body of ANY mass will affect the earth. You may not be able to measure the impact of something very small, but it still has an impact.

Does the moon make the gravitational attraction of tides?

Technically, every other massive body in the universe causes tidal effects; as a practical matter, only very close or very massive objects have any real effect. So we see tidal effects on the Earth caused by the Moon, which is close, and to a lesser extent by the Sun - which is far more massive, but also much farther away. No other body is either close enough or massive enough to have any influence on the tides at all.


Can the sun orbit the earth?

No. When one body is much more massive than the other, the lighter body (earth) orbits the heavier body (sun). Greater mass wins. The sun's mass is about 2 x 1030 kg. The earth's mass is about 6 x 1024 kg. Therefore the sun is about 300,000 times as massive as earth. Technically, it's most correct to say that both the Sun and the Earth orbit their common center of mass, but because the Sun is so much more massive than the Earth, the common center of mass is a point that's still within the Sun.


What civilization was partially known for their massive pyramids human sacrifices and ornate body parts?

The Aztecs had ritual sacrifies where the victims body would be painted and then placed on a slab and heart would be removed. Then they would throw the body down a pyramid/temple stairs.


Is it good for your body to expose it to magnets?

A magnetic field has no discernable effect on your body. All of us are constantly exposed to a magnetic field, that of the earth itself, we cannot avoid it.


The space surrounding a massive object subject to the body's force of attraction is?

The space surrounding a massive object subject to the body's force of attraction is the gravitational field. This field is responsible for exerting a force on any other object within its influence, causing it to experience gravitational acceleration towards the massive object.

What would be the effect on satellites now in orbit if the earth were to stop rotating?

The rotation of either body has no effect on a pair that are in mutual gravitational orbit. It would have effect at all.


What is the tidal force of massive body?

It usually used to describe the force of gravity (of the moon) pulling on the oceans and water on Earth thus creating high and low tides. The sun is massive and close enough to Earth to have a significant affect on tides also.

Why does the moon orbit the earth intead of the earth orbiting the moon?

The mass of the earth is over 80 times the mass of the moon. A massive object will tend to capture less massive objects in its gravitational field.____________But consider this: if the moon happened to be the same general size and mass as earth, which would orbit which? You would observe them each orbiting around an invisible spot half way between them, their 'system' center of gravity otherwise called the 'barycenter'. They would effectively be orbiting around each other. As the moon becomes less massive, what determines the 'cut-off' between orbiting around each other and the smaller orbiting the larger? In fact it is still true that earth and moon are each orbiting their barycenter. Interestingly, the barycenter in this case is within the body of the earth, because the earth is so much more massive than the earth.


What would cause the earth to leave its orbit?

The Earth would be extremely unlikely to leave its orbit naturally. It would require a very large external force, such as a collision with a massive celestial body, to disrupt its orbital path significantly. This scenario is highly improbable given the stable nature of the Earth's orbit around the sun.

As the mass of a body increases its gravitational force of attraction on the earth?

increases as well, due to the greater mass of the body. This is because gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the object. So, the more massive the body, the stronger the gravitational force it exerts on Earth.
