Yes. That's why when astronauts land there their steps are longer and why they don't way as much there. It's also why we don't revolve (literally) around the moon

How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?

Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.


What is the compare of the earth and the moon in terms of size and surface gravity?

earth is 81.3 times the mass of the moon . acceleration due to gravity at earths surface = 9.82 (m/s)/s acceleration due to gravity at moons surface = 1.62 (m/s)/s . 1 kg at earths surface, force = 1 * 9.82 = 9.82 newtons 1 kg at moons surface, force = 1 * 1.62 = 1.62 newtons


Is the Moon's gravitional pull stronger or weaker than the earths?

The moons gravitational attraction is weaker as the moon is smaller


Is the moons gravity 6 times stronger than the earth gravity?

No. It is about 5 times weaker.


What is the gravity on the moon lo?

About 0.183g, where one g is the earths gravity, so about one fifth of the earths gravity. It is similar to our own moons surface gravity.


How much stronger is the earths gravity than the moons gravity?

The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's.


What is the gravity of Callisto?

Callisto, one of Jupiter's moons, has a surface gravity of about 0.126 times that of Earth, or 1.235 m/s². This means that objects on Callisto weigh less than they would on Earth due to the weaker gravitational force.


What planets gravity is one-fourth the gravity of earth?

Of the planets in our solar system, Mars has the lowest surface gravity of around 38% of earths - over one third. This comes closest to the 25%. We then have moons and dwarf planets, but these have much lower surface gravities.


Would you expect the force of gravity one kilometer above the moon to be stronger or weaker than the force of gravity at it's surface?

The effect of gravity would be less, a 1 kg mass at the moons surface would be under a force of 1.623 newtons, 1 km above the surface, it would be 1.621 newtons


What is the the earths moons atmosphere?

There is no atmosphere on the moon. There is insufficient gravity to keep an atmosphere there.


Why is there the moons gravity is only16 of the earths?

The earth has a colossal size more mass


Why are small moons like Deimos potato shaped while larger moons are spherical?

Large moons are rounded by their own gravity, which tends to pull down any large projections. Low-mass moons have weaker gravity and so are unable to do this.
