Why does the moon have lees gravity?

The force of gravity between two masses depends on the product of the masses.

So if either of the masses is reduced, the force between them is reduced.

The Earth has about 80 times as much mass as the moon has. So the force

of gravity between the Earth and any object on it is going to be more than

the force of gravity between the moon and the same object when the object

is on the moon.

The distance between the two objects is also involved in determining the force

of gravity between them, but the above discussion of the mass is enough to

answer the question.
