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
Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.
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
The moons gravitational attraction is weaker as the moon is smaller
No. It is about 5 times weaker.
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.
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's.
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.
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.
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
There is no atmosphere on the moon. There is insufficient gravity to keep an atmosphere there.
The earth has a colossal size more mass
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.
