Gravity makes the Moon remain in orbit around Earth.
The Moon does have gravity, but its gravitational force is only about 1/6th that of Earth's. This is because the Moon is much smaller and less massive than Earth. The effect of gravity on the Moon is still strong enough to affect objects, including causing tides on Earth.
On the moon, gravity is about 1/6th of the gravity on Earth. Therefore, if you weigh 100lbs on Earth, you would weigh approximately 16.6lbs on the moon. This is because the force of gravity pulling you toward the moon is much weaker compared to the force of gravity pulling you toward Earth.
No, the Earth's gravity pulls the moon in towards 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.
The gravitational force on the Moon is less than that on Earth because the Moon has less mass than Earth. Gravity is directly proportional to mass, so the smaller mass of the Moon results in a weaker gravitational force.
The force of gravity on the moon is about one-sixth (1/6) of the force of gravity on Earth.
No, gravity on the moon is completely seperate and does not affect the earth.
The moon does have gravity. It has 1/6 the gravity of earth.
The force that holds the moon in place is gravity. Without gravity, there wouldn't be a moon.
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of the earth's.

When you moves straight from the surface of the Earth toward the moon, the force of gravity attracting you to the Earth decreases, and the force of gravity attracting you to the moon increases. The Earth's gravity is the stronger one until you're about 73% of the way to the moon, and from there the moon's gravity is stronger. So, from the time you leave the Earth, the net gravitational force on you decreases, and becomes zero when you have completed about 73% of the trip. From that point until you reach the moon, the gravitational force increases again, and when you reach the moon, the force on you is about 1/6 as strong as it was on the Earth, but pulling towards the Moon.
The answer is that the two characteristics that affect gravity are mass and newtons. There is less gravity on the moon than on the earth. A space suit weighs 180 pounds on earth but on the moon it weighed way less than it was when it was on earth.
Yes.
Gravity
A buoyant force depends on: a)density of the fluid b)volume of an object c)standard gravity of earth NOTE:The value of earth gravity is (9.8 or 10) The value of gravity on moon is (1/6)
