How do rocks stay on the moon without gravity?

The moon has gravity, but it is much weaker than Earth's gravity. Rocks on the moon stay on the surface due to the moon's gravitational pull, which is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. This weaker gravity allows rocks to stay in place on the moon despite being less massive than on Earth.


If theres no gravity on the moon why was the flag blowing around?

The movement of the flag on the moon was due to the astronauts rotating and adjusting the pole to plant it into the lunar surface, causing the flag to move. While there is gravity on the moon, it is weaker than Earth's gravity, leading to different behaviors of objects in motion.


How does buggy stay on moon?

Buggy stays on the moon due to the moon's gravity, which is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. This reduced gravity allows the buggy to easily maneuver and stay grounded on the moon's surface. Additionally, the design and engineering of the buggy's wheels provide traction and stability on the uneven lunar terrain.


Would gravity on the moon allow a flag to fly?

Since there is no wind on the moon, any flag "flying" would have to be due to mechanical support -- exactly as was stated as having been done in 1969 (I recall that as I watched the flag being "unfurled").


Gravity provides a centripetal force on the Moon helping it stay in orbit around Earth?

Correct! The force of gravity between the Earth and the Moon acts as a centripetal force, keeping the Moon in its orbit around the Earth. This balance between gravity and the Moon's inertia allows it to continuously move in a circular path around the Earth.

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?
