Aspaceship orbiting earth flies to the moon. how is the gravitational force pulling on the spaceship related to the distance that the spaceship is from the earth? question 25 options: as the distance from the earth decreases, the gravitational pull on the spaceship would decrease. there is no gravity on the moon and therefore only the earth will exert gravitational force on the spaceship. as the distance from the earth increases, the gravitational pull on the spaceship would decrease. the gravitational pull of the earth is constant and therefore the gravitational pull on would not change.
