According to Newton's 3rd law, the force on the (smaller) moon due to the (larger) earth is:
- greater in magnitude than, and in the opposite direction from, the force on the earth due to the moon.
- greater in magnitude than, and in the same direction as, the force on the earth due to the moon.
- equal in magnitude to, and in the opposite direction from, the force on the earth due to the moon.
- equal in magnitude to, and in the same direction as, the force on the earth due to the moon.
- smaller in magnitude than, and in the opposite direction from, the force on the earth due to the moon.
- smaller in magnitude than, and in the same direction as, the force on the earth due to the moon.
