  1. No, they are equal.


  2. on Earth,force of gravity is 6 times MORE than that of Moon..

    a stone weighing 12 Kg on Earth, will weigh 2 Kg on Moon.

  3. Earth's force is greater.That's why moon revolves around the earth.Otherwise the earth would revolve around the moon.

  4. no

  5. SAME BUT IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION......

  6. there is no relation between the gravitational force between the earth and moon . means urs question is meaningless .

    it means that the gravitational force does not matter by the relation between the earth and moon. because it is universal thing.and it is everywhere but it matters differentely by different places.like we know that there is gravitational fiield in earth and in the moon the gravitational field is less that in earth.and it is 1/6th times the gravitational on earth...........

  7. the force that earth applies on moon or moon on earth is equal in magnitude given by

    Gm1m2/r^2

    here G is universal gravitational constant and m1 and m2 are masses of object.

    the force is equal and opposite.

    as Newton said EVERY ACTION HAS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION in his third law.

    so the amount of force earth or moon apply on later similar it receives back.

    same you can apply anywhere.

    HOPE THIS HELPS

    ALL THE BEST

  8. If they weren't equal one or the other would fly-off into deep space.  Let it be the moon.

  9. Apply Newton's Third Law: the force of the Earth on the Moon is exactly equal and opposite to the force of the Moon on the Earth.
