An object on the moon's surface weighs 16.55% as much as the same object
weighs when it's on the Earth's surface. That's about 1/6 as much.

How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?
Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.
How does the Moon's movement effect the tides?
The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'
What is a true statement about the moon?
The Moon orbits the Earth. The Moons gravity causes Earths tides to ebb and flow.
How does gravity affect the movement of the moons?
Earths gravity keeps the moon from flying off in the same way the sun keeps earth in balance.
Why the weight of a body is less on the Moon than on Earth?
Because there is less gravity. There is less gravity because the moons total mass is less than the earths and gravity is related to mass.
How does the sun's gravity compare to earths gravity?
The sun gravity is stronger
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.
How much stronger is the earths gravity than the moons gravity?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's.
How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?
Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.
Why is there the moons gravity is only16 of the earths?
The earth has a colossal size more mass
What is the the earths moons atmosphere?
There is no atmosphere on the moon. There is insufficient gravity to keep an atmosphere there.
What is the compare of the earth and the moon in terms of size and surface gravity?
earth is 81.3 times the mass of the moon . acceleration due to gravity at earths surface = 9.82 (m/s)/s acceleration due to gravity at moons surface = 1.62 (m/s)/s . 1 kg at earths surface, force = 1 * 9.82 = 9.82 newtons 1 kg at moons surface, force = 1 * 1.62 = 1.62 newtons
How does the Moon's movement effect the tides?
The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'
What is earths relative gravity?
Generally gravity of other planets, moons, ext is compared relatively to Earth's (with Earth's being 1).
What is the exact distance when the earths gravity becomes 0 or moons gravity takes over?
We are not sure. try looking it up on a different website
What is a true statement about the moon?
The Moon orbits the Earth. The Moons gravity causes Earths tides to ebb and flow.
How does gravity affect the movement of the moons?
Earths gravity keeps the moon from flying off in the same way the sun keeps earth in balance.
