It did not get pulled in by Earth's gravity. The moon most likely formed when a small planet collided with Earth early in its history, producing a ring of debris around Earth which coalesced to form the moon.

How much is gravity on Earth compared to the moon?
The moon has one-sixth of the Earths gravity.
Moon gravity vs earths gravity?
Moon gravity is less because the atmosphere and mass and the earths gravity is greater than the moon if you weight yourself in the earth and then you weighted yourself in the moon you would weight less in the moon you could actually float in the moon because of its atmosphere and mass
How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?
Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.
Why don't satellites get pulled towards the Earth's surface?
Because of the gravity that Earth has with the moon; Satellites are out of the gravity pull that surrounds Earth, therefore, they are not sucked in.
What is a true statement about the moon?
The Moon orbits the Earth. The Moons gravity causes Earths tides to ebb and flow.
What does the earths moon mean?
the earths moon helps sustsian the gravity on the earths oceancs keeping them in balance
How much is gravity on Earth compared to the moon?
The moon has one-sixth of the Earths gravity.
How much smaller is the Moon's gravity to the earths?
The moon's gravity is one-sixth that of the Earth's;
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?
Moon gravity vs earths gravity?
Moon gravity is less because the atmosphere and mass and the earths gravity is greater than the moon if you weight yourself in the earth and then you weighted yourself in the moon you would weight less in the moon you could actually float in the moon because of its atmosphere and mass
Is the moon held by earths gravity?
Yep!
Is held in its orbit by the Earths gravity?
the moon
What is the gravity on the moon lo?
About 0.183g, where one g is the earths gravity, so about one fifth of the earths gravity. It is similar to our own moons surface gravity.
Does the pull of gravity work on the moon?
yes. everything that has a mass has gravity, including urself. but on the moon the gravity is only 17% as strong as earths gravity
What is the force on the Moon's surface compared to the force of gravity on earths surface?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of the earth's.
How deep would you have to drill into the moon to match earths gravity?
You could never match earth's gravity on the moon. You could not increase the amount of gravity on the moon by drilling.
Is the Moon's gravity stronger than the earth's gravity?
Less, about 1/6th of Earths.
