Why does the moon have more gravity than the earth?

It doesn't. The moon has less gravity than Earth because it has less mass.


Does Earth have more gravity than the Moon?

Yes. On the moon you can jump really high and you weigh less because there is less gravity weighing you down.


Why is it that the earth is not affected by the Moon's gravity?

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.


What is The moon has more gravity than the earth.?

"The moon has more gravity than the earth." is a question (about the moon and gravity).


Why accelaration due to gravity on moon is less than accelaration due to gravity on earth?

Because the earth is much more heavier than the moon.


Will an astronaut weigh more or less than the moon?

Less - since the gravity on the moon is about one-sixth of that on Earth.


Do I weigh more on the moon than I do on earth?

Considerably less because the Moon has far less mass then the Earth hence far weaker gravity.


Why does everything has the same mass on earth and the moon but everything weighs more on earth that it does on the moon?

Mass doesn't depend on gravity whereas weight does. And moon has gravity less than earth so a body weighs less on moon as compared to its weight on earth. But mass remains same.


Which has more gravity earth or moon?

The Earth has about six times more gravity than the Moon.


Why is the moon have less gravity?

Gravity is directly proportional to the mass (weight) of an object. The moon does have less pull of gravity than the Earth, but it has lots more pull of gravity than, say, the 2 moons of Mars.


Is it true that a object ways more on the moon than on the earth?

No. An object weighs less on the moon than on Earth. This is because the gravity on the moon is much less than that of Earth, so there is less of a force pulling down on an object.


Does the moon have a stronger gravity then the earth?

As gravity is related to mass, the object with more mass has more gravity. Thus as the Earth is more massive than the moon, it will have more gravity. This is why the moon orbits the Earth, and why the Earth orbits the Sun.
