Yes: the moon is smaller than the earth, so it's gravitational force is much weaker.

Why is gravity on the moon not as strong as on earth?

The moon has far less mass than Earth, so the force of gravity will be much lower.


Where is there no gravity other than the moon?

There is gravity on the moon but not as much as on Earth. This is because the amount of gravity depends on the mass of the object creating the gravity and the moon is much smaller and has much lower mass than the Earth. If you are far enough away from the Earth (and moon) their will be a point where there is no noticeable gravity.


Is gravity canceled closer to the earth or moon?

Earth-Moon GravityThe point at which the gravity of the Earth is counterbalanced by the gravity of the Moon is much closer to the Moon. The stronger gravity of Earth has a greater effect for any given distance.Independent GravityThe Earth's gravity is greater than the Moon's, so the Moon would have a lower escape velocity and a lower possible orbit, even neglecting the fact that it has no atmosphere. Gravity diminishes with distance, so the effective gravity at any given distance from the Moon will be much less than the effective gravity at that distance from the Earth.


What is The moon has more gravity than the earth.?

"The moon has more gravity than the earth." is a question (about the moon and gravity).


What does the moon not have in common with the earth?

The moon is way smaller than the earth and its gravity level is lower. Which makes people weigh less on the moon.


Why is gravity on the moon a 6th of the gravity on earth?

The gravity is less on the moon than on Earth because the Earth has about 80 times as much mass as the Moon has. The diameter of the Moon also affects it. If the diameter is bigger, that puts you farther away from the center, and the gravitational force decreases.


Why an astronaut does not get pulled into earth on the moon?

The moons gravity holds them down!! The moons gravity maybe lower than the Earth's gravity but on the moon it is strong enough to win the tug of war with Earth's gravitational pull.


Is there any gravity on the moon and the astronaut on the moon?

Yes, there is gravity on the moon, but it is much weaker than on Earth. The gravitational pull on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth, so astronauts on the moon experience lower gravity.


What force permits you to jump higher on the moon than on the earth?

Lower force of gravity.


Why is there no gravity on moon?

The moon does have gravity, but it is much weaker than Earth's gravity. This is because the moon is smaller and less massive than Earth. Astronauts can still walk on the moon because it has enough gravity to keep them on its surface.


How much less is the Moon's gravity than that of the earth's?

Since the Moon's gravity is 1/6 that of Earth, the Moon's gravity is 5/6 less than that of Earth.


Why is gravity on earth and not the moon?

There is gravity on the moon. The moon's gravity is much weaker than Earth's because the moon has less mass.
