How would the gravity of mars affect the landing of a spacecraft?

Does mars' gravity affect other objects. yes it does but the gravity is 38% of the earths gravity and if doesn't affect objects then it will have no moon.


How does gravity affect the stars moon an planets?

Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and the stars and the stars in orbit around the center of the galaxy. Gravity also holds the stars together against their own internal pressure.


How does a spacecraft land on moon?

As the gravity is less on the moon, the astronauts use the lunar module.


Do the craters cause more gravity on the moon?

No. The craters on the moon do not affect its gravity.


How does gravity from the moon affects the earth?

No, gravity on the moon is completely seperate and does not affect the earth.


Why was it so challenging for scientists to land a spacecraft on the moon?

because of the gravity on the moon and because it is really smell compared to the sun.


Why is launching spacecraft from the moon a desirable alternative to launching them from earth?

The Moon's gravity field is only 1/3 that of Earth's.

Gravity makes the Moon remain in orbit around Earth.


Why do people think launching spacecraft from the moon is a desirable alternative to launching them from earth?

Due to the lack of gravity, launching a spacecraft of any sort is a lot easier.


Is gravity used in space travel?

If you mean do any manned spacecraft use artificial gravity, the answer is, not so far. But, in the future, large spacecraft may create artificial gravity by rotating them. To conserve fuel, the gravity of the moon/planets is used to pull spacecraft toward them. And of course the gravity of earth is used to hold/pull on spacecraft so they orbit (circle) around it instead of flying off into space.
