There is a pair of equal gravitational forces between the Earth and every other bit
of matter in the universe. The only ones that make any difference over the span of
several human lifetimes are the pair between the Earth and sun, and the pair between
the Earth and moon. Mutual gravitational forces between the Earth and each of the
other major planets are affecting the Earth's orbit, but the effects are so small as to
be imperceptible over the course of human civilization, and too slow for prediction.

What are the tides and what causes them?
Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun acting on Earth. The gravitational pull of the Moon primarily causes ocean tides due to its proximity to Earth and its gravitational influence. The Sun also contributes to tides, though to a lesser extent.
What causes precession?
Precession is primarily caused by gravitational forces from other celestial bodies acting on the spinning object's equatorial bulge. This causes the object's axis of rotation to trace out a cone over time. For example, the precession of Earth's axis is mainly influenced by the gravitational forces from the Moon and the Sun.
What are the forces acting on a satellite that is in a circular orbit about the Earth at an altitude at which air resistance is negligible?
In a circular orbit with negligible air resistance, the main forces acting on a satellite are the gravitational force pulling it towards the Earth's center, and the centripetal force keeping it in its circular path. These two forces are balanced, allowing the satellite to maintain a stable orbit.
What is between the moon and earth causes tides in oceans?
Mutual gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are.
What causes the gravitational force of the moon and the earth?
The distortion of spacetime in response to their respective masses causes their respective gravitational forces.
Are there forces acting on the book if yes draw the forces acting on the table?
Yes, there are gravitational and normal forces acting on the book. The gravitational force acts downwards towards the center of the Earth, while the normal force acts perpendicular to the surface of the table and supports the weight of the book.
What are the forces helpful to separate earth and moon even gravitational force is acting?
momentum i think
What the force on the spacecraft and force on the moon?
There are various forces acting on them, but a few forces which significantly decide their motion are: 1. On moon: Gravitational force due to earth and sun 2. On spacecraft: Gravitational force due to earth, moon and sun
Are there unbalanced or balanced forces on the moon?
Must be unbalanced. Otherwise, the moon would be moving at constant speed in a straight line.
What do we call it when the gravitational forces on an object in space are balanced?
When the gravitational forces on an object in space are balanced, we call it zero gravity or weightlessness. This occurs when the object is in free fall or orbiting the Earth without any external forces acting on it to counteract gravity.
What is the force acting on a weight and what are the forces acting on weightlifter?
The force acting on a weight is its gravitational force, which is the force pulling it downward towards the Earth. The forces acting on a weightlifter when lifting a weight include the gravitational force acting on the weight being lifted, the normal force exerted by the ground pushing back up on the weightlifter, and the muscular force applied by the weightlifter to lift the weight against gravity.
What is the gravitational force of earth acting on a body of mass 1 kg is?
The gravitational force of Earth acting on a body of mass 1 kg is approximately 9.81 Newtons.
What are the forces acting on a football?
-- the gravitational attraction between the football and the Earth, acting vertically downward; -- the normal force of the ground or the shelf under the football, acting vertically upward. These two forces are precisely equal and opposite. If they're weren't, then the football would be accelerating vertically, not at rest.
Which two forces act on you when you stand on ice?
When you stand on ice, the two forces acting on you are gravity pulling you downward towards the center of the Earth and the normal force exerted by the ice pushing upward on your feet to support your weight and prevent you from sinking.
What is the magnitude of gravitational field at earth's center?
If gravity on the surface of Earth is 9.8Nkg, then at the centre it would be 0Nkg
Are the forces between Earth and the Moon a Newtonian third law pair?
Yes, the forces between Earth and the Moon follow Newton's third law. The Earth exerts a gravitational force on the Moon, and in return, the Moon exerts an equal but opposite gravitational force on the Earth.
Why can you not feel a gravitational attraction between you and an object?
You cannot feel the gravitational attraction between you and an object because the force of gravity is very weak compared to the other forces acting on you (such as electromagnetic forces). Additionally, other factors like the Earth's gravitational field are much stronger, so you are not as sensitive to the gravitational attraction between you and smaller objects.
