Why is gravity on the moon not as strong as on earth?
The moon has far less mass than Earth, so the force of gravity will be much lower.
How is gravity different on the moon than here on earth?
Mass .. The more mass the higher the gravity
How much more is the gravitational force of the earth than the moon?
The acceleration of gravity on the moon is about 1/6th the acceleration of gravity on earth. Any mass on the earth's surface feels about 6 times the downward force that it would feel on the surface of the moon.
Why do both the sun and the moon exert a greater gravitational force on one side of the earth than the other?
The gravitational force depends on the distance.
Why does the moon have a effect on tides than earth?
While the Moon is much smaller than the Sun, it is much closer to the Earth than the Sun.Newton's law of gravitation is that any two bodies in the universe attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.The distance from the Sun to the Earth means that its gravitation force is effectively less than that exerted by the Moon and thus the Moon's tidal component is larger.
Why does the moon exert a lower gravitational force than the earth?
The moon is smaller than the Earth.Therefore it has a lower gravitational force. Don't you know this?
What force permits you to jump higher on the moon than on the earth?
Lower force of gravity.
Does the moon have lower gravity than earth?
Yes: the moon is smaller than the earth, so it's gravitational force is much weaker.
Why is gravity on the moon not as strong as on earth?
The moon has far less mass than Earth, so the force of gravity will be much lower.
Why is the mass of an object the same on the moon as it is on earth but the objects weight is diffrent?
Because the force of gravity exerting on objects on the moon is much lower than that of the earth.
Why does earth exerts a greater force than the moon?
There are two reasons: The Earth is more massive than the Moon, and the Earth is closer to you than the Moon. If you were standing on the Moon, then the force of gravity due to the Moon would be greater because you are closer to the Moon.
Do people weigh less on the moon than on earth?
Yes, there is much less gravity on the moon.Yes. A person's mass does not change but, because weight factors in the force of gravity acting on the person's mass, their weight is different on the moon. The moon creates a smaller force of gravity, therefore, a person's weight is lower on the moon.
How many times the gravitational force of earth is greater than moon?
The gravitational force on Earth is six times greater than that on the moon.
Are the temperature of the moon are higher or lower than the earth?
the temperature of the earth is lower than the Earth.
Does moon have gravitational force?
Every heavenly body due their mass have gravitational force. Since the moon is significantly less massive than Earth gravity on the moon is weaker than it is on Earth.
What is less on the moon than it is on earth?
The force of gravity.
Does the moon have stronger gravitational force than the earth?
No the Earth would pull u more than the moon
