The Earth pulls on the Moon with its gravitational force and we know the moon pulls back on the Earth with its gravitational force. Since the Earth is six times more massive than the Moon, the Earth’s gravitational pull on the moon must be

• greater than the Moon’s gravitational pull on the Earth.

• less than the Moon’s gravitational pull on the Earth.

• the same as the Moon’s gravitational pull on the Earth.

• zero, since the moon doesn’t really pull on the Earth.
