How deep would you have to drill into the moon to match earths gravity?

You could never match earth's gravity on the moon. You could not increase the amount of gravity on the moon by drilling.


Why is there lesser gravity in moon?

Basically, the Moon is less massive. In general, the amount of gravity depends on the mass, and on the distance.


How does the amount of gravity change between Earth and Jupiter?

Since Jupiter is further than the moon, there is not as much gravity as the Earth and moon.


Where is there no gravity other than the moon?

There is gravity on the moon but not as much as on Earth. This is because the amount of gravity depends on the mass of the object creating the gravity and the moon is much smaller and has much lower mass than the Earth. If you are far enough away from the Earth (and moon) their will be a point where there is no noticeable gravity.


What is the specific amount of gravity on the moon?

1.62 m/s2


If there is no gravity on the moon why can an astronaut jump up and down as seen in the space shots?

There is gravity on the moon. There is less gravity on the moon than there is on earth, because the moon is smaller than earth. Because the Earth has the mass it has, it has the gravity it has. Because the moon has a lot less mass than the Earth its gravity is about 1/6 the amount of the Earth's gravity.


What moon has the greatest amount of gravity?

I'm not 100% sure, but gravity is a relation of mass. On that basis I would say Ganymede a moon of Jupiter and the largest moon in the solar system


What causes an object to weigh more on earth than the moon?

the amount of gravity on earth versus the moon


Why would you weigh more on earth then moon?

The reason we weigh the amount we do is because the gravity is as strong as it is. However on the moon the gravity is not as strong, therefore we weigh less.


The pull of gravity on the moon is 0.17 times on earth's on which planet would you weigh less?

You would weigh less on the moon compared to Earth due to the weaker gravity. The gravitational pull is about 0.17 times on the moon compared to Earth, so your weight would be significantly lower on the moon than on Earth.


What is the source of gravity of moon?

The source of gravity on the Moon is its mass. Gravity is a force that attracts objects with mass towards one another, and the amount of gravity depends on the mass of an object. The Moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity due to its smaller mass.


Is there 0 gravity on the moon if so how does NASA provide video of men on the moon dropping a feather and hammer?

There is enough gravity on the moon for us to go there and explore. Any object with mass also has gravity. While the moon is smaller than the earth, it still has an immense amount of mass.
