State Newton's law of gravitation. What is the difference between:
g and G?

उत्तर
Newton law of gravitation is that every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
'g' is the acceleration due to earth's gravity and 'G' is universal gravitational constant.

If the moon attracts the earth, why does the earth not move towards the moon?
If you compare the gravitational force on the Earth due to the Sun to that due to the Moon, you would find that the Sun’s pull is greater than the Moon’s pull. (You can check this yourself using the data available in the succeeding exercises). However, the tidal effect of the Moon’s pull is greater than the tidal effect of Sun. Why?
