The Earth has a greater gravitational attraction than the Moon.
Explanation: Earth’s much larger mass produces a stronger gravitational field, so it pulls more strongly on the Moon. (Note: the mutual gravitational force between Earth and Moon is equal in magnitude on both bodies by Newton’s third law, but the resulting accelerations differ because their masses are different.)
