What would happen to the moon if there was not any gravity What about the planets?

Without gravity, there would be no largescale structure to the universe. If it simply stopped existing, the moon would fly off from earth orbit; the earth and planets would fly away from the sun into deep space, and not only would the solar system dismantle itself but so would the galaxy. Also, the atmosphere would drift off into space, as would (the shortly thereafter dead) human race, and everything else not fixed to the surface of the planet.
However, gravity is very much built into the universe - the structure of the universe is based on it being there (and having the relationship with other fundamental forces that it does). It's a very hypothetical question - the thought that you could "lose" gravity but keep everything else in the universe somehow well-behaved.

What would happen if you were on the moon?
If you were on the moon your weight would lower, as there is no gravity.
If an astronaut hit a golf ball on the moon What would happen and why?
It would move and go 6 times as farther than on the moon due to the gravity of the moon being 1/6 of Earth's gravity.
What would happen to your weight if you went to the moon?
On the moon as the gravity is less you will only weigh 1/6th of your natural weight there.
Why do the moons stay in orbit around Jupiter?
Any moon is held in orbit by gravity, just as the planets are held in orbit around the sun by gravity.
Do planets always have stronger gravity than moons in your Solar System?
YES otherwise the planet would be called the moon because a moon is a body revolving a planet and that happens when the planets is BIGGER.....hope u understood :D
What will happen to the moon and planets if gravity did not exist on the solar system?
They would fly randomly through space.
What would happen if you were on the moon?
If you were on the moon your weight would lower, as there is no gravity.
How do moons orbit the planets?
the planets do not orbit the moon but the moon orbits the planets because of gravity and inertia
What attractive force keeps the moon in orbit around earth?
Gravity is what keeps them in attraction. The force of Gravity is determined by the mass and distance between two or more objects. The other force that keeps the moon in orbit is the moon's inertia. Without inertia the moon would simply fall into Earth; because of Gravity, the same would happen with the planets and the sun.
What force keeps the planets and the Moon's to orbit?
Gravity
If an astronaut hit a golf ball on the moon What would happen and why?
It would move and go 6 times as farther than on the moon due to the gravity of the moon being 1/6 of Earth's gravity.
What prevent's a planets moon from flying off into space?
Gravity.
What would happen if you threw a Frisbee disc on the moon?
The disc would fly for a very long time, since there is no gravity on the moon.
What keeps the planets on their path?
The gravity of there star keeps them on path and a planets moon is sun around by its planets gravitational force
Does a planet have more gravitational pull than the moon?
No the planets have more gravity than moon
If the earth, sun and the moon were the only planets, what would happen?
Every one will die from asteroids.
What would happen to your weight if you went to the moon?
On the moon as the gravity is less you will only weigh 1/6th of your natural weight there.
