Abstract

The measurable, explicit constants in formulas for the gravity field surrounding the moon are the gravitational constant times its mass (GM), the similar product for the earth (GE), the mean earth-moon distance (𝛒), and relative differences between the moon's principal moments of inertia (A, B, C).
