An object on the Moon's surface weighs 16.55% as much as the same object weighs when it's on the Earth's surface. The fraction is roughly 1/6.

What fraction of earth's gravity is moons gravity?
An object on the Moon's surface weighs 16.55% as much as the same object weighs when it's on the Earth's surface. The fraction is roughly 1/6.
Do all of the moons not have gravity?
Everything has gravity, the bigger it is the more it has. Moons DO have gravity, but it might be less than Earth's.
How do you get he answer what fraction of the gravity is the Moon's?
-- On line or in a book, look up the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth. -- On line or in a book, look up the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon. -- Divide the Moon's number by the Earth's number. The answer is the fraction of Earth's gravity that you'll encounter on the moon. -- You can do the same for every planet in the solar system, plus several moons and asteroids.
What fraction of the moons gravity is the moons gravity?
The moon's gravity is essentially identical to 100% of the moon's gravity, and results in gravitational forces on its surface that average about 16% of the corresponding forces on the Earth's surface.
Does the earth's gravity make the moons gravity?
No it doesn't, earth's gravity is only making the moon orbiting the earth not give the moon gravity.
Is our moons gravity one sixth of earth's gravity?
Yes, approximately.
Why an astronaut does not get pulled into earth on the moon?
The moons gravity holds them down!! The moons gravity maybe lower than the Earth's gravity but on the moon it is strong enough to win the tug of war with Earth's gravitational pull.
How tides occurs on Earth?
From the pull of the moons gravity.
Does the moons gravity affects the earth?
It creates the tides.
How much stronger is the earths gravity than the moons gravity?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's.
If you were on the moon your weight would be roughly what fraction of your weight on earth?
The moons gravity is a lot lower than the Earths, so the men exploring the lunar surface will weigh a lot less, roughly 1/6th of what they do on earth.
What is moons gravity compared to earth?
16.55% as strong on the surface.
