Although there is gravity on the Moon, the flag had wire strips in it to stop it falling down. This also allowed the flag to look like it was "waving".

The Apollo 11 mission flag fell over due to the exhaust blast of the returning flight.

the flag waves because it was planted in the soil and Neil Armstrong twisted the poles.this is obvious because int other footage you can see the flag is not moving when he walks past it.Since there is no wind on the moon the flag pole made of the moon landing was an upside-down "L" shape to hold the flag material straight out.

How do things get blown about on the moon if there is no wind?

Short answer is they don't. Guessing a little here, but this question is a common argument used to support the NASA Moon Landing hoax. The theory goes that NASA never made manned flights to the moon but filmed it on a sound stage and this is proven by the flag waving in the photos and film footage. The fact is that the flag is not waving. In the Moon's lack of atmosphere a flag would simply hang unless somehow supported. The Moon Flags all have a wire stitched into the top seam so they can be.displayed. the movement of the fabric is the result of the astronaut fumbling with the flag as he tried to set it and the lack of atmosphere with the Moon's low gravity.
