What is one effect of the weak gravity on the moon?
A person from Earth jumping on the Moon will jump almost 5 times higher than they can on earth. If you weighed yourself as 100 pounds on Earth, you would only weight about 17 pounds on the Moon.
How does Mar's weak gravity effect the planet?
well, the gravity is weak so it means that we cant go there! so no one will be able to visit Mars unless people figure out a way to go there despite the fact of the low gravity.
How much smaller is the Moon's gravity to the earths?
The moon's gravity is one-sixth that of the Earth's;
How much is gravity on Earth compared to the moon?
The moon has one-sixth of the Earths gravity.
What effects is caused by the moon's gravity?
The main effect is the tides, Without the Moon's gravity the tides would be about one quarter as high as they are now, they would be the same every day, and there would be no spring tides or neap tides.
How much surface gravity does the moon have?
The surface gravity on the moon is approximately one sixth the surface gravity of Earth.
How does the moon affect the waters of the earth?
Everything has it's own gravity. The bigger the mass the stronger the gravity. The Earth's gravity pulls the moon towards us, but the moon has its own gravity and, as it isn't strong enough to effect the planet as a whole, so instead it pulls the oceans towards it. As the earth rotates one side is always closest to the moon and is effected the most. This pulling of the oceans towards the moon is how tides work
How do gravity the atmosphere of the moon compare to the moon?
The Moon has almost no atmosphere, so that is unable to influence lunar gravity - which is about one sixth of Earth's gravity.
Has the moon got gravity?
Yes - but the moon's gravity is only about one sixth (or 16%) of that on Earth.
What effect does being in moon have on the bones?
Because of the lowered gravity, one's bones would start to deteriorate due to decreased use.
Why does the moon have no gravity?
It does. Who told you it doesn't? All objects that have mass have gravity. The more mass they have, the more gravity they have. For small objects, the gravity is so weak as to be almost indetectable, even with extremely sensitive instruments. However, the moon's gravity is certainly strong enough to be not merely detectable but to actually physically feel. The moon's mass is about 1/80th that of Earth, but its radius is also quite a bit less; the combination of the two yields a lunar surface gravity of about 1/6 that of Earth.
Why does one lose weight on moon?
The moon is much smaller than the earth. As a result, the force of gravity on the moon is only about one sixth as strong as gravity on earth. Gravity is what holds us down on the earth's (or moon's) surface.
