What is the amount of gravity of the moon?
The gravity of the moon is 1/6 that of the earth.
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.
Why is the specific gravity of mercury on the moon not the same as its specific gravity on earth?
The specific gravity of a substance depends on the acceleration due to gravity. Since the gravity is lower on the moon than on Earth, the specific gravity of mercury will be different between the two. On the moon, the weight of mercury would be less than on Earth due to the weaker gravitational pull, causing its specific gravity to be different.
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.
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.
Does the amount of water you drink each day correspond to the specific gravity of your urine?
The amount of water you drink each day corresponds to the specific gravity of your urine. Specific gravity ranges from 1.001 to 1.035.
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.
Would the specific gravity of mercury be the same on the moon where gravity is one sixth of that on the earth?
Specific gravity (Sg) is a value that relates substance x (in this case mercury) to that of water. Notice that Sg is unit-less, thus its a ratio value, and constant. So yes, specific gravity of any substance is the same everywhere, be it earth, the moon, or Pluto. note: Obviously gravity is different on the moon, as you mentioned about 1/6th that of earth. Finding a force of a certain substance on the moon is found by multiplying the density of water by the specific weight of the substance, multiplied by the gravitational pull. Thus, it is not nessicary to change the specific gravity of the substance.
