Question

(b) Why is the moon's force of gravity less than that of the earth?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

because of the earth's atmosphere layers

Explanation:

but the gravitational force is acts on earth

examples like high tides, low tides

Answer 2

According to the law of universal gravitation, a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

• The moon is a lot smaller than Earth.

• It is about 1/4th the size of Earth, with a mass of 1/80th of Earth.

• That is the reason why the moon's surface gravity is 83.30% less than the earth's gravity.

• Earth's surface gravity is 9.80 m/s² whereas Moon's is only 1.622 m/s².
