Why does the earth have more gravitation pull than the moon?

a) the moon is not as close as the earth is to the sun
b) the earth has more mass than the moon
c) the distance between the earth and the moon gives earth a stronger gravitational pull
d) the moon's mass is far too small to have a gravitational pull

The Earth have more gravitation pull than the moon because the mass of the earth has 81.386 times than the mass of moon

Gravity is a force that arises because of the attraction between objects and mass.

The magnitude of this attraction is proportional to the mass of the object.

The greater the mass of the object, the greater the gravitational force

Relationships can be both stated in

Newton's Gravity Law:

with F = gravitational force,

G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹, gravitational constant,

m = mass of object,

r = distance between two objects.

If we look at the moon mass data of 7.3477.10²² kg, it has 0.0123 times the mass of the earth has at 5.98.10²⁴ and the moon's gravitational acceleration is 1,622 m / s², smaller than the earth at 9.88 m / s², so shows Earth's gravity is greater than the moon

Although the moon's gravity also affects the tide and low tide on earth, but still the gravitational force from the earth to the moon makes the moon attracted to the earth by following its orbit and becoming a satellite of the earth

From the answer choices:

A, C and D show the effect of the distance between the two objects only affects the gravitational force between the two but does not affect the magnitude of the gravity of each object

So the best answer is B) The Earth has more mass than the moon
