The Moon's gravity is 6 times ------ than that on the Earth's surface?
The Moon's gravity is 6 times weaker than that on the Earth's surface.
Does the moon gets more light from the sun than the earth does?
Since the moon does not have an atmosphere, the sunlight that reaches the surface of the moon is more intense than the sunlight that reaches the surface of the Earth after passing through the Earth's atmosphere.
Would a rocket leaving the moon surface require as great a speed or force as one leaving the earth surface?
No, a rocket leaving the moon's surface would not require as great a speed or force as one leaving the Earth's surface. This is because the moon has lower gravity than Earth, so the escape velocity required to overcome gravity and leave the moon is lower than that required to leave Earth.
How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?
Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.
How much surface gravity does the moon have?
The surface gravity on the moon is approximately one sixth the surface gravity of Earth.
How is the moon larger than the earth?
-- The earth's diameter (distance through the center) is about 3.7 times the moon's diameter. -- The earth's surface area is about 13.5 times the moon's surface area. -- The earth's volume is about 49.5 times the moon's volume. -- The earth's mass is about 82 times the moon's mass.
When brought to the surface of a moon will a mass have more or less weight when it did on the surface of th earth?
The mass will definitely weigh less as the moon is less massive than the Earth and hence the Gravity of the Moon will be lesser than Earth. The object's weight will be 1/6 times that on Earth.
Why more craters are present on the Moon's surface than on Earth's?
because the moon does not have a equater like the earth to protact it self ;)
Why is the weight on earth different than the weight on the moon?
-- Your weight depends on the mass of the other mass to which you are gravitationallyattracted, and also on your distance from its center.-- The mass of the moon is much less than the mass of the Earth.-- The moon's surface is much closer to its center than the Earth's surface is to its center.
Why can a astronaut carry more massive equipment around on the moon than on earth?
Because anything on the surface of the moon has only about 1/6 the weight that it has on the Earth's surface.
Is the gravity on the moon as strong as gravity on earth?
That depends on exactly what you mean. The Law of Universal Gravitation has "universal" in the name for a reason. It's the same on the Moon as it is on Earth, and the gravitational constant is identical there. However, the mass of the Moon is quite a bit less than the mass of the Earth. Countering that slightly, the Moon is also smaller than the Earth, meaning objects on its surface are closer to its center than objects on the Earth's surface are to the Earth's center. The net result is that the Moon's surface gravity is about one sixth that of the Earth.
How many times is Earth larger than the Moon?
Earth's diameter is about 3.7 times bigger than the Moon's Earth's volume is about 50 times greater than the Moon's Earth's surface area is about 14.29 times greater than the Moon's Earth's mass is about 81.3 times greater than the Moon's
