Why is the Moon's gravity 16th of Earth's?
Because the Moon is smaller than the Earth.
How does the moon's gravity compared to earth?
Being smaller, the Moon's gravity is less than that of Earth.
If there is no gravity on the moon why can an astronaut jump up and down as seen in the space shots?
There is gravity on the moon. There is less gravity on the moon than there is on earth, because the moon is smaller than earth. Because the Earth has the mass it has, it has the gravity it has. Because the moon has a lot less mass than the Earth its gravity is about 1/6 the amount of the Earth's gravity.
Is there gravity on moon?
Yes, there is gravity on the Moon, but it is only about 1/6th of the gravity we experience on Earth. This is because the Moon is much smaller and less massive than Earth.
What is the difference of moon and earth?
The moon is smaller than earth. The moon is on fourth of Earth, and has less gravity. You would weigh about one sixth on the moon than on the Earth.
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 the Moon smaller than Earth the same size as Earth or larger than Earth?
The Moon is considerably smaller than the Earth. Its volume is about 2% of the Earth's. Its mass is only about 1.2% of the Earth's. Its surface gravity is about 1/6 that of the Earth.
Why does one lose weight on moon?
The moon is much smaller than the earth. As a result, the force of gravity on the moon is only about one sixth as strong as gravity on earth. Gravity is what holds us down on the earth's (or moon's) surface.
Is their gravity on the moon?
Yes. The moon is less massive and smaller than Earth, so the force of gravity on objects near the moon's surface is less than on Earth. The gravity of the moon is around 1/6 the gravity of the Earth. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.6 meters per second per second.
Why is there less gravity on the moon than earth?
Gravity is the attraction between masses. And since the moon has less mass than earth, the gravity is weaker there. Over a distance gravity is weaker.
Why do astronauts weigh less on the Moon than on the Earth?
Astronauts weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less mass and gravity than Earth. The gravitational force on the Moon is about 1/6th that of Earth, so objects (including astronauts) weigh less on the Moon due to this weaker gravity.
Why is the gravitational force on moon less than that of that of earth?
The gravitational force on the Moon is less than that on Earth because the Moon has less mass than Earth. Gravity is directly proportional to mass, so the smaller mass of the Moon results in a weaker gravitational force.
