Because even though the sun's gravity is much stronger than Earth's overall, Earth's gravity is stronger on Earth's surface and in space around Earth because Earth is 93 million miles from the sun.

Why does Earth exert a sgronger gravitational force than the moon?

Earth exerts a stronger gravitational force than the moon due to its larger mass. The force of gravity is directly proportional to an object's mass, so Earth's greater mass results in a stronger gravitational pull compared to the moon.


Which four planets have a less gravitational force pull than earth?

Gravitational pull is less for Mercury, Venus, Mars and Uranus. And th eother planets have higher gravitational pull.


What has a higher gravitational pull the equator or the north pole?

The gravitational pull of the earth is pretty much the same anywhere between the poles and the equator creating a centripetal force pulling things in towards the earth.. However, the rotation of the planet results in an outward centrifugal force pushing things away from the earth. This force is greatest at the equator. Even though the gravitational pull is the same everywhere, the centrifugal force at the equator gives the impression of a very slightly lower gravitational pull.


What is mars' gravitational pull compared to earth?

Mars' gravitational pull is 3.7m/s^2(3.7 meters per second squared) as opposed to Earth's gravitational pull which is 9.81m/s^2(9.81 meters per second squared). The closest you can get to mars is in 2050 with 56 millon killometers


The moon orbits the earth and not the sun because its closer to the earth making the gravitational force acting on it due to the earth more significant than that of the sun?

The moon orbits the Earth because of the gravitational pull of the Earth, not because it is closer to the Earth. The force of gravity depends on mass, so the more massive object (in this case, the Earth) has a greater gravitational pull on the smaller object (the Moon). This gravitational force keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth.

What is the force that tries to pull the rocket back to earth?

The force that tries to pull the rocket back to Earth is gravity. This force is responsible for the rocket's weight and acts in the direction toward the center of the Earth.


What force pulled the satellite down to earth?

What is Jupiter's gravitational force?

The gravitational force of Jupiter is thought to be 24.79 m/s2. That is 2.5 times the gravitational pull of Earth.


What is dependent on gravitational pull?

Any two objects with mass will have a gravitational force. The orbit of planets around stars depends on the gravitational pull of the star. The Earth exerts a gravitational pull on its moon but the moon also exerts a pull on the Earth.


What is Earth's gravitational pull power?

The force that pulls everything to the centre of the earth.


Why does Earth exert a sgronger gravitational force than the moon?

Earth exerts a stronger gravitational force than the moon due to its larger mass. The force of gravity is directly proportional to an object's mass, so Earth's greater mass results in a stronger gravitational pull compared to the moon.


Where earth gravitationl force become zero?

Because there is no range limit on the gravitational force, the gravitational force of the earth is only zero in the exact centre of the earth, where it cancels itself out. Realistically, the force is so small outside the immediate vicinity of earth, that it may as well be zero.


What is the moon's gravitational pull relative to the earth's gravitational pull the moon?

The force of gravitation attracting the earth and moon toward each other is exactly the same force on both bodies.Just as the force of gravitation that attracts you toward the earth is exactly the same as the force that attractsthe earth toward you.


Is there any place on the earth where gravitational force is maximum?

The closer to the core of the earth an object gets, the higher the gravitational pull.


Why gravitational force of son didn't pull earth towards it?

Because Earth and all the other planets and moons have a gravitational pull. This pull is distributed so that everthing stays in orbit.


Earth exerts a stronger gravitational force than the moon because Earth has more?

mass. Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object, so Earth's greater mass results in a stronger gravitational pull compared to the moon.


Does the moons gravitational force stronger than earths gravitational force?

No the Earth would pull u more than the moon
