Want this question answered?
moon is actually continually falling on us! What prevents it from hitting us is the fact that it is rotating around us with a sideways velocity sufficiently high, so that by the time the Moon has fallen the 240,000 miles to the Earth, it has moved sideways about 240,000 miles, far enough to miss the Earth.
The weight would be in the ratio of the accelerations due to gravity on the surfaces of the two bodies - approximately 1/6.
There weren't any pictures attached to this question. But the answer would be in direction D where the line is going to the right with an arrow on the end.
If it were not for the Earth's pull of gravity the moon would fly away from the Earth. The moon's pull of gravity on the Earth causes the tides.
An object on the moon's surface weighs 0.165 as much as it does on the Earth's surface.

it is smaller
the moon
With the moon. The sun is actually bouncing light off of the moon to get to the earth, that's why the moon tends to look like it "glows". So with that light, the night would be brighter with the moon
moon's gravity is (1/6)th of the earth's gravity
1/6th the size.
1. The Moon. 2. Falling Down. 3. Jet engines that enable a plane to fly. 4. Ball bouncing. 5. Tides 6. Getting old. (maybe indirect)
The moon has no air pressure because the moon has no air.
An object on the surface of the moon weighs about 1/6 as muchas it weighs on the surface of the Earth.
On the Earth, the object weighs 6.04 times as much as its weight on the moon.
