There is not zero gravity on the moon.
Any object with mass has gravity (even a cotton ball). However, the more dense and more massive an object, the larger its gravitational pull. This is why, even though a tennis ball does have gravity, it has no effect in relation to the gravity of the Earth.
The Moon has something like 1/6th of the Earth's, so if you weighed sixty pounds on Earth (eat something!) you would only weigh 10 on the Moon.

How much zero gravity is there in space?
Zero! that's why it is called zero gravity!
What would happen if the earth did not have the force of gravity?
If the force of gravity of Earth were to drop to zero, to put it in simple terms: Firstly, the whole atmosphere would leave Earth. Meaning all living things would most probably die as many of us can't live without air. Secondly, the moon would most probably float off to space. Without Earth's gravity, it is highly possibly we would never see the moon again. Either that, or the moon's gravity on its own could hold and it would merely be further away from Earth than usual. Thirdly, those not clutching onto something would definitely float off to space as well. People who wants to be lighter would be happier however, as without gravity, everyone's weight is reduced to zero kg, zero grams, zero pounds, etc.
Gravity on the moon is twice bigger then gravity on earth?
False. Gravity on the moon is 1/6 that of Earth.
How strong is the Moon's gravity compard to that of earth?
Gravity on the Moon is 0.165 that of Earth.
In which direction does gravity pull the moon?
The Earth's gravity pulls the Moon towards it and its center.
Why dont moon buggies float away?
They are in a low gravity environment, but it's not zero gravity. The Moon's surface gravity is about a sixth of the Earth's. That's enough to keep Moon buggies in place.
How does zero gravity affect someone in space?
with no gravity in space you essentially can fly around. you weight a 1/3 of your normal weight on the moon.
How asteroids hit moon if it has zero gravity?
Why do you think the moon has zero gravity? It has gravity, anything that has mass has some amount of gravitational attraction. Astronauts did not float above the moon's surface, they might jump up, but they certainly came back down to the surface. The Lunar Module did not float away while astronauts were exploring the moon. In fact, they needed to use A LOT of rocket fuel to land safely & slowly on the moon's surface. So an asteroid (that has mass and thus gravity) is floating past the moon (which also has mass & therefore gravity), the two will attract each other. If the relative speed & direction of these two objects is right, they will collide. The closer the asteroid gets to the moon, the faster it travels, due to gravity. Gravity is basically the equivalent of acceleration.

Zero! that's why it is called zero gravity!
Why there is no gravity in moon?
There is gravity on the moon.
How does the flag stay on the moon if there is no gravity?
There is gravity on the moon. Gravity comes from mass, which the moon has.
How moon produce tides if there is no gravity on moon?
The moon does have gravity. Surface gravity on the moon is about 1/6 what it is on Earth.
What is the distance when the moons gravity becomes 0 or earths gravity takes over?
The gravity never goes to exactly zero. Off in the most distant galaxy we can see, the gravitational force of the Moon (or the Earth, or for that matter you) is not zero. It's immeasurably small, but it's not zero. However, there is a point directly between the Earth and the Moon where the gravity of the two exactly balance each other. At less than this distance from the Moon, the net force is towards the Moon; at more than this distance, the net force is towards the Earth. It is located where the mass of the Earth divided by the distance to Earth squared is equal to the mass of the Moon divided by the distance to the Moon squared. The exact distance of this point from the center of the Moon varies since the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not constant, but it's roughly 10% of the center-to-center distance between the Earth and the Moon.
Why does not the moon have gravity?
The moon does have gravity but it is much weaker it hase 1/6 of the earths gravity. wihout it how do you expect the men on the moon to stay on the moon?
When you moves from surface of earth towards moon gravity increases or decreases?
When you moves straight from the surface of the Earth toward the moon, the force of gravity attracting you to the Earth decreases, and the force of gravity attracting you to the moon increases. The Earth's gravity is the stronger one until you're about 73% of the way to the moon, and from there the moon's gravity is stronger. So, from the time you leave the Earth, the net gravitational force on you decreases, and becomes zero when you have completed about 73% of the trip. From that point until you reach the moon, the gravitational force increases again, and when you reach the moon, the force on you is about 1/6 as strong as it was on the Earth, but pulling towards the Moon.
Which is more like sky zone or zero gravity?
zero gravity
Why doesn't the moon have any gravity?
The moon does have gravity. Surface gravity on the moon is about 1/6 what it is on Earth.
