Yes. Gravity is always a two-way thing. The gravitational forces between
any two things are equal forces, and they act in opposite directions.
-- There are two forces between you and the Earth.
-- One force attracts you to the Earth. You call it your 'weight' on Earth.
-- The other force attracts the Earth to you. There's no name for it, because
nobody every discusses it. It's simply the Earth's weight on you.
-- Your weight on Earth and the Earth's weight on you are EQUAL !
-- When you and the Earth separate and are allowed to come together under
the influence of the forces of gravity, one of the forces pull you toward the
Earth, and the other one pulls the earth toward you. The smaller mass
accelerates faster, and the larger mass accelerates slower. If one of the
masses is much much less than the other one, then the acceleration of the
larger mass is much much less, and nobody notices it. You stagger into the
house, yelling "I fell out of the tree", and you don't feel like getting technical
about it at that moment. But what REALLY happened is that you and the Earth
both fell, toward each other.
What else can I help you with?
Does Earth exert a contact or a non-contact force on the moon?
Earth exerts a non-contact force on the moon.
Why doesn't the sun pull the moon away from the earth?
The gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon is stronger than the gravitational force between the Sun and the Moon. This is why the Moon stays in orbit around the Earth instead of being pulled away by the Sun.
Why does the moon orbit the Earth and not the Sun?
The moon orbits the Earth because of the gravitational pull between the two bodies. This gravitational force is stronger between the Earth and the moon compared to the Sun and the moon, causing the moon to primarily orbit around the Earth.
Why does the moon keep the same hemisphere facing earth because the gravitational force is equal to the centrifugal force?
The moon keeps the same hemisphere facing Earth because the gravitational force between the two is equal to the centrifugal force, causing the moon to stay in a stable position.
Why does the moon not fall to earth because of what force or phenomenon?
The moon does not fall to Earth because of its orbit and the force of gravity. The moon's speed and distance from Earth create a balance between the gravitational pull of the Earth and the moon's inertia, keeping it in a stable orbit.
Do The Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other?
Yes, the Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other. This force is responsible for the Moon orbiting around the Earth.
True or false The Moon orbits Earth and not the Sun because the Sun doesn't exert a gravitational force on the Moon?
False. The Moon orbits around Earth due to Earth's gravitational pull, but the Sun also exerts a gravitational force on the Moon. The combined gravitational forces of Earth and the Sun control the Moon's orbit.
Does the earth and the moon exert a gravitational force on each other?
no they don't
What force do the sun and the moon exert on the earth?
They exert Gravitational Force on each other. It is a force which is directly proportional to Mass of the object
Why does the moon exert a lower gravitational force than the earth?
The moon is smaller than the Earth.Therefore it has a lower gravitational force. Don't you know this?
The moon orbits earth and not the sun because the sun doesn't exert a gravitional force on the moon True or False?
False. The sun does exert a gravitational force on the moon.
Does the moon orbits earth and not the sun because the sun doesn't exert a gravitational force on the moon?
false
Does the Sun exert a gravitational force on the Moon?
Yes, the Sun exerts a gravitational force on the Moon. This gravitational force contributes to the Moon's orbit around the Earth and influences its motion, causing various phenomena such as tides on Earth.
Does earth the moon and sun have gravity?
Yes, they have gravity. In fact, anything that has mass will have a gravitational force - the more mass a body has, the more gravitational force it will exert.
Out of the Sun Earth the Moon and a Book which one exert the stronget gravitational force on you?
The Earth exerts the greatest gravitational force on you because it is the most massive object you are closest to. The Earth exerts a force equal to your weight. The other objects exert gravitational forces but are not very noticeable because they are either low in mass or separated from you by great distance.
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.
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.
