Question

if the moon attracts the earth why does the earth does not move towards the moo​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the third law of motion, the moon does attract the earth. But according to the second law of motion, for a given force, acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the object.  The weight of the moon is very very small compared to that of the earth. So we do not see the the earth moving towards the moon.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

The moon attracts the earth with the same gravitational force as the earth attracts the moon. ... Since the mass of earth is very large, the acceleration produced is negligible. Therefore, the earth does not move towards the moon.
