A spacecraft near Earth experiences a stronger gravitational force than one near the Moon due to Earth's greater mass and closer proximity. Earth's gravitational pull is approximately six times stronger than that of the Moon. Therefore, a spacecraft in orbit around Earth will feel significantly more gravitational attraction compared to one in orbit around the Moon.

Find the direction of the net gravitational force exerted on the spacecraft by the earth and moon?

It is very easy to find the direction of net force exerted by Earth and Moon on a Space craft. Suppose Earth is at "0" point of 3-D coordinate system. Now say X1, Y1, Z1 are the coordinate of the Moon and X2, Y2, Z2 are the coordinates of Space craft. Now say M1, M2, and M3 are the mass of Earth, Moon and Space Craft respectively. Now calculate the gravitational force exerted by Earth and Moon separately in X,Y,Z directions. Now Vectorial SUM of the above force is the net force and resultant vector is the direction of net Gravitational force on the Space craft.


Where shows the correct order of forces from weakest to strongest?

The correct order of forces from weakest to strongest is gravitational force, electromagnetic force, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force. Gravitational force is the weakest force, while the strong nuclear force is the strongest.

Why is the sun the only gravitational force?

The sun is not the only gravitational force but it is the strongest, the earth has a gravitational force, the moon has a gravitational force etc. Any two objects have a gravitational force between them that is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
