    Earth was the lesser force. (away from the moon).In summary, the point of zero gravity is located at a distance of approximately 3.44x10^8 meters from the Earth, closer to the Moon than the Earth. This is due to the Earth's force of gravitational attraction being canceled out by the Moon's force of gravitational attraction at this point.

    Gravity Moon. In summary, during a conversation, the speaker mentions having a science test and doubts about a homework question. The homework question asks about the weight a person can lift on the Moon compared to the Earth, with the equation being 1/6 of the Earth's gravity. The speaker believes the answer is 360kg, while their teacher says ...

    The strength of gravity on Earth is significantly greater than on the Moon. Earth's gravity is about 9.8 meters per second squared, while the Moon's gravity is only about 1/6th of that, at 1.6 meters per second squared. 2. Why is there a difference in gravity between Earth and the Moon? The difference in gravity between Earth and the Moon is ...

  5. Understanding Moon's Lack of Gravity: The Science Behind It

    With less gravity, the moon moves faster and has a slightly different orbit than it would if Earth's gravity was stronger. 5. How does the moon's lack of gravity impact the tides on Earth? The moon's lack of gravity does not have a direct impact on the tides on Earth. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth's ...

    In summary, the gravitational attraction of the Earth is canceled by the gravitational pull of the moon at a point between the two, with a distance equal to 80/81 the way to the moon. This can be calculated using the equation F=GMm/r^2 and solving for the distance r', which represents the distance to the moon. The ratio of r' to the distance to ...

    Effect of the Sun's Gravity on the Moon. In summary: The Sun pulls on the Earth too.Both the Earth and the Moon are accelerated towards the Sun at approximately the same rate. They are in "free fall" around the Sun. In such a case, the Earth's gravity keeps the Moon orbiting around it while both of them orbit the Sun.But if you plot the path of ...

    Oct 17, 2010. Gravity Spinning. In summary, the Earth's gravity is affected by its rotation, with the centrifugal force at the equator reducing the apparent gravity by 0.3%. If the Earth were to spin faster, this effect would be more pronounced. This has been confirmed through the theory of general relativity, which explains how an object's ...
