To solve the problem of comparing the gravitational force of the Earth on the Moon to the gravitational force of the Moon on the Earth, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Gravitational Force Formula**: The gravitational force \( F \) between two masses \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) separated by a distance \( r \) is given by Newton's law of gravitation: \[ F = \frac{G \cdot m_1 \cdot m_2}{r^2} ...
