Why doesn't equipment float away on the moon?
The Moon has gravity, it is about 1/6 that of Earth's, but it is strong enough to keep objects from floating away.
Why does the moon not crash on earth but stay in space and not float away or into earth?
The moon and other planets and their satellites are held in space by the force of gravity from other planets and satellites. If the moon tried to drift off into space, gravitational forces from the Earth will keep it from floating away. It doesn't crash into the Earth because planets and moons pull AGAINST each other and keep each other from drifting away.* * * * *Only partly true.The moon does not float away because of the action of earth's gravity - whether you view this as a force or a distirtion of space-time in the moon's path.The moon does not crash into the earth, not because of other planets or satellites, but because of the momentum of its orbit around the earth.
How fast would you have to jump off the moon to land on earth?
You cant jump off the moon and land on earth because , there is zero gravity in space , so you would float away
Why do we float on the moon?
You don't float, otherwise the astronauts would have just floated away instead of walking around. Gravity is less, so you can jump farther on the moon than on Earth, but you are still held down on the ground.
Why dont moon buggies float away?
They are in a low gravity environment, but it's not zero gravity. The Moon's surface gravity is about a sixth of the Earth's. That's enough to keep Moon buggies in place.

Can you make a tunnel from earth to the moon?
probably not because all the pieces for the tunnel would float away
Why doesn't the moon float?
I think the moon does float...its just like earth i guess:)

Why does the moon float and not get pulled to earth?
Because of the gravitational force difference on earth and moon.

Why didn't the moon buggy float away?
Because the moon have gravity too
Why don't all things on earth float away into space?
They don't float away because of gravity
How does the moon float in space?
It is pulled to the gravitational pull of Earth which in turn lets it float in space.
Is it fun floating in the air on the moon?
You don't float in air on the moon because there is no air on the moon, and you don't float anyway. There is gravity on the moon; it is one-sixth the force of Earth's gravity, so you can jump six times higher on the moon, but you don't float weightlessly.
