The Moon has its own gravity, and any lunar dust kicked up by a meteoroid striking the Moon will fall back to the Moon. However, there have been "Moon rocks" found on Earth when a large body struck the Moon at high velocity, and boosted a rock from the surface of the Moon into near-Earth space, and the rock subsequently fell to Earth.

In fact, scientists have found MARS rocks on the Antarctic ice, apparently thrown into space by some massive impact or explosion on Mars millions of years ago.

How objects fall on Earth and on the moon?

Objects fall towards the ground due to gravity on both Earth and the moon.

Additionally, the lack of atmosphere on the moon affects the way objects fall by reducing air resistance.
