Question

The Earth does not move towards the Moon because the force exerted by the Earth or the Moon on each other is insufficient to move the Earth on account of its huge mass. This statement is

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

$F_g=\frac{GMm}{R^2}$

Despite the masses of Earth and Moon being large, either does not move towards the other because the distance $R$ is so great that $F_g$ is not sufficient to move such a huge mass, that of Earth.
