The true statement about the relationship between the gravitational force of Earth and the Moon is:

The Earth has a greater gravitational attraction than the Moon.

This is because the Earth's mass is significantly larger than the Moon's mass, leading to a stronger gravitational force on objects at or near the surface of the Earth compared to the surface of the Moon.
