Question

if the moon attract the earth why does the earth not move toward the moon​

Answer 1

Answer:

Both the Earth and the Moon have a fixed orbit in which they revolve. The gravitation is in a stable ratio by which they don't pull each other.

Answer 2

Answer:

The moon attracts the earth with the same gravitational force as the earth attracts the moon.

However, mass of Earth is comparitively much larger than moon.

Since force= mass * acceleration

So, acceleration= force / mass

Since the mass of earth is very large, the acceleration produced is just negligible.

Therefore, the earth does not move towards the moon even though the moon attracts the earth.
