The mass of the earth is said to generate a gravity field. There is a lot of debate on this issue. But it has been scientifically proven that in areas of higher gravity the flow of time slows down in relation to an observer in a lighter gravity field.

A black hole is an extreme example (time stops at the event horizon). To keep in mind that on mars which is 1/3 our size while a 1,000,000 years pass on earth only ~999,999.9 years may pass on Mars.

In an experiment where two synchronized atomic clocks were used. One was placed on a high flying plane and the other was kept on the ground. When compared the one in flight was running ~ 3 billionth of a second faster.
in addition the speed that our planet is rotating, orbiting the sun and traveling through the galaxy all come together to add time-dilation effects to the equation. The number is very small but it adds up over time.

Over time the moon's gravity will drastically alter earth's?

The moon's gravitational force does influence Earth's tides and rotation, but it is not expected to drastically alter Earth in the future. The moon's orbit is stable and changes occur slowly over millions of years rather than in a drastic manner.


How does orbiting earth effect astronauts?

First of all the low gravity decreases all the muscle tone inside the astronaut. They find themselves unable to keep their food down in zero gravity. Then their is time. Time goes faster for them as they are away from the earth. It is because they are away from a earth a heavy body. Im not going to explain this in details as the answer is not for this question.


What force caused a ball of dust rock and ice to be pulled together to form earth?

The force of gravity caused the various particles of dust, rock, and ice to be pulled together to form Earth. Over time, the gravitational attraction between these particles caused them to collide and merge, eventually forming a larger body that became our planet.


Why do you sqare the earth years in Kepler's 3rd law?

By squaring the period of revolution (earth years) in Kepler's third law, the equation balances the relationship between the orbit's distance and the time taken to complete it. This allows for a direct comparison between different planets' orbital periods and distances from the sun.


When earth is facing the sun?

The Earth ALWAYS faces the Sun. However, the Earth rotates. So one half of the Earth is in sunlight (Day time) and the other half of the Earth is in darkness (night time). We always face the Sun, because we , the Earth, is held there in its orbit about the Sun , because of Sun/Earth gravity.

When is gravity on this is one sixth of what is on earth it takes 28 days to go round the earth?

This statement refers to the moon, where gravity is one sixth of that on Earth and it takes approximately 28 days for the moon to complete one orbit around the Earth. This relationship between gravity and orbit time is a fundamental aspect of the Earth-moon system.


What is the relationship between massweight and gravity?

Weight is the pull of a gravity field on a massGravity is the result of a distortion in space-time produced by a mass.


Explain why the relationship between orbital speed and distance is the same as that between gravity and distance?

gravity is that keeping the orbital speed from falling or breaking loose. and the distance away = time


Why do i every time pick spot of from your head or on your body?

because the gravity of the earth between the sun so the spot from your head or on you body is spoted by the gravity between the sun....


What is the relationship between time and gravity, and how does time cause gravity?

Time and gravity are interconnected in the theory of general relativity proposed by Albert Einstein. According to this theory, gravity is a result of the curvature of spacetime caused by massive objects. Essentially, the presence of mass warps the fabric of spacetime, affecting the flow of time. This means that time and gravity are intertwined, with gravity influencing the passage of time and vice versa.


How much time less then gravity of the moon as compare to the earth?

moon's gravity is (1/6)th of the earth's gravity


How does the moon rotate with the earth?

The moon rotates on its axis at the same rate it orbits around the Earth, known as synchronous rotation. This means we always see the same side of the moon from Earth. The gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon have caused this synchronization over time.


How does time dilation cause gravity?

Time dilation, a concept from Einstein's theory of relativity, occurs when time passes differently for objects in different gravitational fields. This is because gravity warps spacetime, causing time to flow at different rates depending on the strength of the gravitational field. The stronger the gravitational field, the slower time passes. This relationship between gravity and time dilation is a key aspect of how gravity is caused by time dilation.


Does the force of gravity change at various times of the day at the same place?

No. Force of gravity is not time dependent. It is proportional to the product of masses of the earth and the matter in question and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the center of the earth and the center of the matter.


What whould happen if the time of rotation for Earth was different?

The days would be longer, and the gravity would be higher if the rotation time of earth was longer. The days would be shorter, and there would be less gravity on Earth if the rotation time decreased.


What is the relationship between time dilation and gravity, and how does time dilation cause gravity?

Time dilation and gravity are interconnected concepts in the theory of general relativity. According to this theory, gravity is not a force but rather a curvature in spacetime caused by the presence of mass and energy. This curvature of spacetime affects the flow of time, leading to time dilation. Essentially, the stronger the gravitational field, the greater the time dilation experienced by an observer. In other words, time dilation is a consequence of the curvature of spacetime caused by gravity.


Does the international dateline have gravity?

The international dateline has normal gravity; our time zone conventions have no effect on the gravity of the planet Earth.
