What is the distance from the moon to the point between Earth and the moon where the gravitational pull of the Earth and moon are equal?

The moon’s orbit around Earth is elliptical. At perigee — its closest approach — the moon comes as close as 225,623 miles (363,104 kilometers). At apogee — the farthest away it gets — the moon is 252,088 miles (405,696 km) from Earth. On average, the distance from Earth to the moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 km).

How do I calculate the point between Earth and moon at which gravitational field strength is zero?

There is no point in this universe where the gravitational field strength is zero, you just find points where the forces from all of the various local bodies is in balance, equaling each other. To calculate these points every body in existence needs to be included in the calculation, not just the Earth and Moon.

What would happen to the gravitational force between Earth and the moon if the distance?

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases.

What is the distance from the center of the earth to the center of the moon called?

The time-averaged distance between the centers of Earth and the Moon is 385,000.6 km (239,228.3 mi)….Lunar distance (astronomy)

Lunar distance
SI base unit	384399×103 m
Metric system	384399 km
English units	238854 mi
Astronomical unit	0.002569 au

How many Earth masses is the moon?

Bulk parameters

	Moon	Earth
Mass (1024 kg)	0.07346	5.9724
Volume (1010 km3)	2.1968	108.321
Equatorial radius (km)	1738.1	6378.1
Polar radius (km)	1736.0	6356.8

Is there a point between the Earth and the moon?

(such a point is called neutral point). The mass of the earth is 81 times the mass of the moon and the distance between the earth and the moon is 3,85,000km. (such a point is called neutral point). The mass of the earth is 81 times the mass of the moon and the distance between the earth and the moon is 3,85,000km.

What is the gravitational force between two objects Class 9?

The law of gravitation states that the force of attraction between any two objects is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

How was distance to moon determined?

There are two ways to measure the distance from the Earth to the Moon on your own: using a Lunar eclipse and using parallax. From these measurements, it was simple geometry that allowed Aristarchus (c. 270 BC) to determined that the Moon was round 60 Earth radii away (about 386,243 km or 240,000 miles).

What is its mass on the Moon?

The moon has a smaller gravitational field strength. On the Moon, g = 1.6 N/kg. In other words, a 1 kg mass has a weight on the Moon of 1.6 N….Summary.

Mass	Weight
Measured in kilogrammes kg	Measured in newtons N
A measure of the amount of matter	The force of gravity acting on the object

What is the mass of the Moon?

Mass of the moon, M 2 = 7.33 x 10 25 g = 7.33 x 10 22 kg The Moon has roughly 1/4 the Earth diameter so it experiences 1/4 the tidal force (27\% actually)

How do you calculate the distance between Earth and the Moon?

At some point between Earth and the Moon, the force of Earth’s gravitational attraction on an object is cancelled by the Moon’s force of gravitational attraction. If the distance between Earth and the Moon (centre to centre) is 3.84*10^5 Km (3.84*10^8 m), calculate where this will occur, relative to Earth.

What is the force acting between the Earth and Moon?

So, force acting between the earth and the moon is, F = [Gm 1 m 2 /d 2] The Moon has roughly 1/4 the Earth diameter so it experiences 1/4 the tidal force (27\% actually) G = universal gravitational constant M = mass of the Earth

What is the point where Earth’s gravity and Moon’s cancel each other out?

Gravity: Point where Earth’s Gravity and the Moon’s cancel each other out? The mass of the Moon is 7.35*10^22 Kg. At some point between Earth and the Moon, the force of Earth’s gravitational attraction on an object is cancelled by the Moon’s force of gravitational attraction.
