The mass of the moon is about 1.2% of the mass of the earth. compared to the gravitational force the earth exerts on the moon, the gravitational force the moon exerts on earth :
Is the same
is smaller
Is greater
Varier with its phase

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Acceleration Due to Gravity and its variation. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

From Newton's Third law of motion force applied by object A on B and Force applied by B on A will have equal magnitude.
