Question

The moon attracts the earth, but the earth does not move towards the moon because​

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Explanation:

F=ma

So, if the mass of and object is more, the acceleration will be less for a given force and vice versa.

As the Earth is more massive, it's acceleration towards the moon is very low, hence not noticable.

The moon attracts the Earth by the same force as the Earth attracts the moon.
