If gravity on the earth increased, what affect would it have on the moon
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

If gravity on Earth is increased, this gravitational tugging would have influenced the moon's rotation rate. If it was spinning more than once per orbit, Earth would pull at a slight angle against the moon's direction of rotation, slowing its spin. If the moon was spinning less than once per orbit, Earth would have pulled the other way, speeding its rotation.
