As good as. If you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you would weigh 16.54 lbs on the moon. One sixth of 100 equals 16.6666.... Close enough.

Because the moon is not earth. - It is a different planet with different mass and gravity.

Mainly because the moon has only about 1/80 as much mass as Earth has.

Why does the weight of an object change when you go to the moon?

Your weight on the moon is one-sixth (1/6) what it is on earth.


What is the gravity of the moon Io relative to earth's gravity?

The surface gravity on Io is very low compared to Earth, due to its low mass, around 0.183g or 18.3% of the Earths pull at the surface. this is just a little more than the surface gravity on our own moon, which is about 16.5% of earths pull.


The word gravity used a sentence?

Gravity can mean seriousness, or it can mean the physical force that makes a book dropped out of a window fall rather than hang in midair. The following sentences provide examples of both meanings:I think you fail to understand the gravity of your situation.The moon's gravity is only one-sixth of the earth's gravity. we all walk on gravity to school


How strong is Titan's gravity compared to Earth's?

Saturn because Earth has less miles of Saturn because the greater the planet, the more gravity it contains. Here`s the gravity from greatest to least: Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Earth Venus Mars Mercury


Why does the moon have no gravity?

It does. Who told you it doesn't? All objects that have mass have gravity. The more mass they have, the more gravity they have. For small objects, the gravity is so weak as to be almost indetectable, even with extremely sensitive instruments. However, the moon's gravity is certainly strong enough to be not merely detectable but to actually physically feel. The moon's mass is about 1/80th that of Earth, but its radius is also quite a bit less; the combination of the two yields a lunar surface gravity of about 1/6 that of Earth.
