1. The earth has greater mass 2. the earth is closer to the sun
Gravity is the attraction between masses. And since the moon has less mass than earth, the gravity is weaker there. Over a distance gravity is weaker.
There is less gravity than on earth.
Gravity is the attraction between masses. And since the moon has less mass than earth, the gravity is weaker there. Over a distance gravity is weaker.
The gravitational force between two things depends on the product of their masses. So if one of the objects stays the same but the mass of the other one changes, the force between them also changes. The moon has less mass than the earth has, so the force between the moon and you is less than the force between the earth and you. Gravity is always a two-way thing, and the forces are always equal in both directions. Your weight on the earth is the same as the earth's weight on you. Is that cool or what !
Weight is the force of gravity between you and the Earth, pulling you together. The moon, which is much smaller than Earth, has less mass so gravity isn't as strong. Therefore, the force between you and the moon will be less.
Because gravity is a property of mass and the Earth has more mass than the apple.
No. Gravity always behaves according to the same formula, introduced by Newton.But the gravitational forces between you and the Earth certainly change when thedistance between you and the Earth's center changes significantly.
Mars has less gravity.
The gravity on Earth is stronger than the gravity on Mercury.
There is gravity on the moon. It is about on sixth what it is on Earth. This is because the moon has less mass than Earth does.
This causes tides on Earth.
The Earth is bigger in size. The Earth is a planet. The Moon has no plants. The Moon has less gravity.
