Understanding Newton’s Third Law of Motion

Newton’s 3rd Law states that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force back. This law is about action and reaction forces that are equal and opposite, emphasizing the interaction between objects. This concept is exemplified in the relationship between Earth and the Moon, where both bodies pull on each other due to gravitational forces acting as partners in a single interaction.
