The question is not about gravity, but about education.

...the law of gravity is valid everywhere - on Earth, on the Moon, and on the orbital station. First ask this question to yourself, located on the Earth: what attracts more - the Earth, the Moon or the Sun? Or do they all “pull” towards themselves, but in different proportions?

Dr Vladimir A Lebedev thank you for your contribution to the discussion

Sun exerts greater force as compared to moon because sun is having a greater mass than moon. So it exerts 180 times more gravitational force than moon. Therefore, although the Moon is much closer to the spacecraft than the Sun, the Sun's much greater mass more than compensates for the greater distance, and creates a larger force of gravity on the spacecraft than the Moon. Our sun is 27 million times larger than our moon. Based on its mass, the sun's gravitational attraction to the Earth is more than 177 times greater than that of the moon to the Earth. The more massive the object, the stronger the pull. The sun is by far the most massive object in the solar system, so its gravitational field is the strongest, which is why planets orbit the sun. The Earth's Moon has considerably less mass than the Earth itself. Not only is the Moon smaller than the Earth, but it is only about 60 percent as dense as Earth. Thus, the gravitational attraction on the Moon is much less than it is here on Earth, and a person weighs less on the Moon.The gravity of The Sun at its surface is 27.9 times that of Earth. Therefore a person's weight (if they could stand on the Sun) would be 27.9 times that on Earth. The Moon's smaller mass and radius combine to produce a gravitational field at its surface only one-sixth that of our Earth. The Moon's much weaker gravity corresponds to an escape speed of only 5400 mph, a speed gas molecules can attain. Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun. Tidal forces are inverse cubed. That means the tides something causes is proportional to it's mass, and proportional to 1/distance^3. Twice as far away, 1/8th as strong. Since the Sun is much further away, it doesn't have much effect. Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun.

Dear Rk Naresh ,

What is your prove for gravitational pull effect of Moon?

Laszlo

Dear Rk Naresh ,

Do you like to talk about how you understand gravity? Why do you think this is interesting? If yes, then tell someone else about ocean tides... I will be very surprised if the discussion continues.

Dear Rk Naresh ,

You got a very interesting and wisdom suggestion... Please, take his advice. Let's see if the debate will continue...?

Can you bet on whether the debate will continue or not?

I would bet that the debate would continue.

If nature was the judge and not a mainstream scientist, you would surely lose the argument.

Regards, Lászlo

Here is why I recommend you to answer the question:

Essence of gravitation: The attraction of the temporal flows of matter.

Ocean tides: As the orbiting Earth tends to the line of its orbit, so does every drop of its water. Therefore, it repeats twice a day. Branko Mišković

The Sun's gravity is much stronger than the Moon's on a spacecraft orbiting Earth. Here's why:

• Mass matters: The Sun is incredibly massive compared to the Moon. This means it has a much stronger gravitational pull.
• Distance matters too: Even though the Sun is much more massive, it's also vastly farther away from the spacecraft than the Moon. However, the effect of gravity weakens with distance according to an inverse cube law. So, even though the Sun is more massive, the greater distance weakens its pull significantly.

Overall, calculations show the Sun's pull on a spacecraft orbiting Earth is about 160 times stronger than the Moon's pull.

Now, for the Earth-Moon-Sun system:

• The Sun's gravity is stronger than the Moon's pull on Earth as well. This might seem surprising because of the tides. Here's the key:
• The Moon's effect on tides is due to a tidal force. This is because the Moon's gravity is slightly stronger on the side of Earth closest to it and weaker on the opposite side. This difference in pull stretches Earth slightly, causing high tides. The Sun also contributes to tides, but because it's so much farther away, the tidal effect is weaker.

So, the Sun wins on overall gravitational pull, but the Moon's closer proximity creates a more noticeable tidal effect.

Dr Murtadha Shukur thank you for your contribution to the discussion

Interesting discussion. It is interesting because it carefully retells chapters of books on popular physics. But it is not clear what its meaning is.

Yes, I agree with Vladimir A Lebedev that the distance between objects does affect the strength of their gravitational pull. The closer an object is, the stronger its gravitational pull will be. However, because the Sun is so much more massive than the Moon, its gravitational pull is still greater even though it is farther away. Our sun is 27 million times larger than our moon. Based on its mass, the sun's gravitational attraction to the Earth is more than 177 times greater than that of the moon to the Earth. The Sun and moon exert a greater gravitational force on one side of the Earth than on the other because they are close to one side than the other. Because the mass of the mood is less than the mass of the Earth. The force of gravity is given by F=MmG/r^2. The r of the moon is about 1/4 of the Earth, giving a 16 times increase in the value of F for a constant m, but the M of the moon is about 1/80 of the M of the Earth. Therefore, although the Moon is much closer to the spacecraft than the Sun, the Sun's much greater mass more than compensates for the greater distance, and creates a larger force of gravity on the spacecraft than the Moon. The Sun and moon exert a greater gravitational force on one side of the Earth than on the other because they are close to one side than the other. Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun. Because the Moon is much closer to the Earth than it is to the Sun, and distance is the bigger factor when calculating gravitational force. So, even though the Sun has about 333,000 times the mass of the Earth, it only has about 28 times the Earth's gravity at this distance. Based on its mass, the sun's gravitational attraction to the Earth is more than 177 times greater than that of the moon to the Earth. Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun. The Earth's Moon has considerably less mass than the Earth itself. Not only is the Moon smaller than the Earth, but it is only about 60 percent as dense as Earth. Thus, the gravitational attraction on the Moon is much less than it is here on Earth, and a person weighs less on the Moon. The gravitational pull between Earth and Moon is identical due to Newton's third law. From Newton's third law, the force of interaction between the Earth and the Moon will be equal. The Earth's gravitational pull on the Moon is not different from the gravitational pull of the Moon on the Earth.

You asked a question:

'Would the sun create a larger or smaller force of gravity than the Moon on an orbiting spacecraft & Moon have more gravitational pull on Earth than the sun? '

With your question you demonstrated your poor physical education. Do we really have to train you?

You need to read textbooks.
