Pluto may be considered small in planet terms, but its still a pretty big rock, and its moon is small enough so that they can have a mutual gravitational attraction, and the moon can be in a stable orbit. Pluto can have gravity on it, anything that's bigger than something else has gravity on it, even an elephant has gravity over a mouse, its just too small of an amount to do anything

Is Pluto Gravity Strong Or Weak?
Stronger
Does Pluto have a stronger or weaker gravity than earth?
Pluto has a weaker gravity than Earth. In fact, Pluto has a weaker gravity than Earth's moon.
Does Pluto have a weak gravitational pull?
Yes - in fact, anything that has mass will exert a gravitational force (including comparably small objects, like a human being). Pluto's force of gravity is equal to 0.58m/s2, which is about 6% that of the gravity on Earth.
What is the gravity like on planet Pluto?
Pluto's force of gravity is equal to 0.58m/s2, whereas the force of gravity on Earth is 9.81m/s2. Thus, the gravity on Pluto is about 6% that of the gravity on Earth.
How is Pluto's relationship with its moon Charon unlike the relationships between other planets and their moons?
They orbit about their mutual center of gravity, which is in between the two because they have similar mass. Other planets have the center of gravity inside them.
Is Pluto's gravity strong or weak tha nearth?
gravity on Pluto is about 1/12th the surface gravity on Earth
Is Pluto Gravity Strong Or Weak?
Stronger
Does Pluto have a stronger or weaker gravity than earth?
Pluto has a weaker gravity than Earth. In fact, Pluto has a weaker gravity than Earth's moon.
What would gravity do to a person on pluto?
No. The gravity of Pluto is only about 6.3% of the gravity on Earth, less than half of the gravity on the moon. This is because Pluto is about 500 times less massive than Earth.
What planet has little gravity?
our moon or mercury or Pluto
It has no atmosphere due to weak gravity?
Moon
There is no gravity air and what on the moon?
The Moon does have gravity! It is weak (just 1/6th of the Earth's) so the Moon has very little atmosphere.
Why lack of atmosphere around the moon?
The moon's gravity is too weak to hold on to an atmosphere.
How does the force of gravity on pluto compare to the force of earth?
Compared to earth, the force of gravity on pluto is weak, about 1/17 th that of earth, so 100 kg mass on pluto would "weigh" 100/17 = 5.9 kg
Does Pluto have a weak gravitational pull?
Yes - in fact, anything that has mass will exert a gravitational force (including comparably small objects, like a human being). Pluto's force of gravity is equal to 0.58m/s2, which is about 6% that of the gravity on Earth.
How can Pluto have moons?
Any object in space with enough gravity to keep a moon in orbit can have moons. Pluto is one of those objects.
Why does Pluto have more moons than earth if earth has more mass?
A good bit of "luck", and the fact that Pluto is so far from the Sun; the Sun's gravity interferes very little with the weak gravity of tiny Pluto, and its even smaller moons.
