Question

The earth and the moon are attracted to each other by
gravitational force. Does the earth attract the moon with a
force that is greater or smaller or the same as the force
with which the moon attracts the earth? Why?
if the attracts the earth, why does the earth not move towards the moon​

Answer 1

Answer:

You mean: does the Earth attract the Moon with a greater force than the Moon attracts the Earth? In that case the answer is no. We can look at this in two ways:

The force of gravity is proportional to both masses

It doesn't matter if you use this to calculate the force of M on m or the force of m on M.

2. Newton's 3rd law states that “action = -reaction”, or more properly:

Meaning that the force that A exerts on B is equal and opposite to the force the on A.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

earth attract the moon with a force equal to what moon attract earth because 3rd law of motion says that to every action there is equal and opposite reaction

Explanation:

the attraction magnitude is same but as it act on two different body having two different mass the acceleration is different
