At a point between the earth and the moon, the magnitude of the force exerted on an object by the earth's gravity equals the magnitude of the force exerted on the object by the moon's gravity. what is the distance from the center of the earth to that point to three significant digits? the distance from the center of the earth to the center of the moon is 383,000 km, and the radius of the earth is 6370 km. the radius of the moon is 1738 km, and the acceleration due to gravity at its surface is 1.62 m/s2 .
