What is the gravitational force between the Earth and your body called?

Your weight. Weight is the definition of the force between the earth and other objects. Thus you weight is the gravitational force acting on you from the earth.


What is the force between the earth and a body on earth?

The gravitational constant on Earth is 10 Newtons per kg (well exactly about 9.81 Newtons)


The strongest gravitational force occurs between earth and?

the Sun.


Why does earth have mare gravitational force than the more?

The gravitational force between two objects depends on the product of their masses.That means (mass #1) times (mass #2).If Mass-#1 is you, then the gravitational force between you and another object depends on the massof the other object.Since the earth has much more mass than the moon, the gravitational force between you and the earth islarger than the gravitational force between you and the moon.(The force also depends on the distance between the two objects. But you should already begetting the idea, without going into the other details.)


What is the dominant cause of tides on earth?

Why does the gravitational force between the Earth and moon predominate over electrical forces?

Between the Earth and the Moon, for example, there is no net electrical force. So the weaker gravitational force, which is only attracts, remains as the predominant force between these bodies.
