SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The mass of the apple on the moon is still 0.2 kg. This is because, the mass of an object does not vary from one celestial body to another, instead it remains the same.

Detailed explanation-2: -The gravitational force between Earth and the moon is strong. But the force is not strong enough to pull the moon towards us, like an apple falling from the tree due to Gravity.

Detailed explanation-3: -The force of gravity between the earth and any object is inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates that object from the earth’s center. The moon, being 60 times further away than the apple, experiences a force of gravity that is 1/(60)2 times that of the apple.
