The gravitational pull of the moon on Earth causes a shift in Earth’s mass, gently skewing its shape — elongated at the equator and shortened at the poles.

Earth’s gravitational pull on the moon has revealed that our satellite’s interior is warmer on its near side, the one facing our planet, suggesting its insides are uneven. In the GRAIL mission ...

The asteroid was discovered in August and is set to become a mini-moon, ... But Earth's gravitational pull will draw 2024 PT5 towards it and, much like our moon, ...

The ‘mini moon’ is actually a small asteroid, the size of a school bus, that is known as 2024 PT5. This solar rock has entered the gravitational pull along with the moon and will briefly orbit ...

When the Moon is directly overhead, its gravitational pull slightly reduces a person's weight on Earth. This is because the Moon's gravity, though weaker than Earth's, adds an upward force ...
