When sun puts more gravitational force(numerical values) on moon than earth, then why moon does not revolve around the sun like earth?
The gravitational force of the moon is approximately 1.62 m/s², which is about one-sixth of the Earth's gravitational force.
The gravitational force of the moon is the primary cause of tides on Earth. The moon's gravitational pull creates a bulge of water on the side of the Earth facing the moon, and a corresponding bulge on the opposite side due to the Earth's rotation.
No, the gravitational force of the moon varies slightly depending on an object's distance from the moon. This is why the tides can be higher or lower depending on the location on Earth.
The gravitational force of the moon is about 28% of the gravitational force of the sun. However, because the sun is much farther away from Earth, its gravitational pull on the tides is about half of the moon's pull.
Yes, the gravitational force of the moon can cause small variations in the Earth's orbit. This is known as lunar perturbation and is one of the factors that contribute to the Earth's irregular orbit around the sun.
