A person travelling in a fast spaceship measures the distance between the earth and the moon. Is it the same, smaller or larger than the value quoted in this book?

Lunar eclipse occurs once in ……… months .

As compared to Moon, earth is

The mass of the earth is 81 times the mass of the Moon and the distance between the earth and the Moon is 60 time the, radius of the earth. If R is the radius of the earth, then the distance between the Moon and the point on the in joining the Moon and the earth where the gravitational force becomes zero is

If magnitude of the gravitational force between the earth and the moon is denoted by A and between the earth and the sun by B then

If you compare the gravitational force on the earth due to the sun to that due to the moon, you would find that the sun's pull is greater than moon's pull. However , the tidal effect of the moon's pull is greater than the tidal effect of the sun. Why?

The change in the value of acceleration of earth toward sun, when the moon coomes from the position of solar eclipse to the position on the other side of earth in line with sun is : (mass of moon =7.36xx10^(22) kg, orbital radius of moon =3.8xx10^(8) m.)

During a total solar ecilpse the moon almost entirely covers the sphere of the sun. Write the relation between the distances and sizes of the sun and moon.

The earth revolves round the sun because the sun attracts the erth. The sun also attracts the moon and this force is about twice as large as the attraction of the earth on the mon. Why does the moon not revolve round the sun? Or does it?
