An object on the moon's surface weighs 0.165 as much as it does on the Earth's surface.
The moon's gravity is about 1 sixth of Earth's (0.165G)
0.1654g where Earth has 1g. So that's 16.5% of Earth's gravity, or around one sixth.
If the weight of a person on earth is 60N then his weight on moon will be 10N.
the moon has 1 6th of Earths gravity
============================
The answers above are not only all nearly the same, they're
all nearly correct, FOR OBJECTS ON THE SURFACE.
The Earth and the Moon have the same gravitational attraction for each other - it is symmetrical per Newton's Third Law - so the force of gravity of the Moon on the Earth is the same as the force of gravity of the Earth on the Moon.
In terms of their gravities towards a third object, however, the Moon has a mass of 7.3477 x 1022 kg, while the Earth has a mass of 5.9736 x 1024 kg, so, given the same distance, the Moon's gravity towards a third object would only be about 0.0123 that of Earth. I say, "given the same distance", because the force of gravity is proportional to the mass of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Now, some may say that 0.0123 is inconsistent with the known gravity difference of about 0.167, but you also have to consider that the radius of the Moon is much smaller than that of Earth, by about 3.67, so that will increase the apparent surface gravity by about 3.672, or by about 13.5, and 13.5 times 0.0123 is about 0.166, right in the ballpark for the calculation.
The two forces are identical because gravity works the same both ways.
But the Earth is more massive so in the Earth-Moon system it tends to stay where it is and the Moon goes round as a natural satellite.
An object that weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh about
16.56 pounds on the surface of the moon.
The gravity of the Moon is about 1/6 that of Earth.
(The mass of the Moon is 1/81 that of Earth, but it has a smaller diameter).
The Moon has 1/6th the pull of Earth's gravity.
The Moon has less gravity than Earth; in fact the moon has about 1/6 of the gravity of Earth. The reason is because Earth has a larger mass, therefore it has stronger gravity then the moon.
The earth's gravity is approximately 9.8m/s^2
The gravity on the moon is I believe 1.6m/s^2
So when you are on the moon, you are about 6 times lighter.
Hope this helps!
The moon does have gravity, but it is about 1/6th the strength of Earth's gravity. The reason it may seem like the moon has no gravity is because objects weigh less on the moon due to its lower gravity.
Your weight on the moon is one-sixth (1/6) what it is on earth.
The weight would be in the ratio of the accelerations due to gravity on the surfaces of the two bodies - approximately 1/6.
On Earth there is gravity pulling objects down and adding weight. On the moon there is no gravity so objects are weightless.
The weight of an object on the moon is about 1/6th of its weight on Earth. This is because the moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's gravity. So, if an object weighs 60 pounds on Earth, it would weigh about 10 pounds on the moon.
moon's gravity is (1/6)th of the earth's gravity
The Moon has almost no atmosphere, so that is unable to influence lunar gravity - which is about one sixth of Earth's gravity.
Yes, there Is gravity on the moon. It is not as strong as the Earth's gravity (it is about 1/6 of the Earth's gravity), but, Yes, the moon does have gravity.
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.
"The moon has more gravity than the earth." is a question (about the moon and gravity).
There is gravity on the moon. The moon's gravity is much weaker than Earth's because the moon has less mass.
Gravity on the moon is lower than earth since it had lesser mass. The falling object would accelerate at slower speed on the moon compare to earth.
Gravity on the Moon is 0.165 that of Earth.
Earth is affected by the moon's gravity. The moon's gravity exerts just as much force on Earth as Earth's gravity does on the moon, but since Earth is far more massive, it undergoes far less acceleration.
No it doesn't, earth's gravity is only making the moon orbiting the earth not give the moon gravity.
The gravity on the moon is 1/6 of what it is on Earth. To put a finer point on it, that's 16.549% of Earth gravity.
they both have gravity and the moon did once have water but not anymore and life may have been to inhabit it millions of years ago
