It does. Astronauts on the moon can jump higher than they do on Earth but they still come back down. The moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's because the moon has less mass.

∙ 7y agoYes, the moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity, which is enough to hold a modern car. However, the weight of the car would be significantly reduced on the moon compared to Earth.
Breathing is not dependent on gravity or the lack thereof.
There is gravity on the moon but not as much as on Earth. This is because the amount of gravity depends on the mass of the object creating the gravity and the moon is much smaller and has much lower mass than the Earth. If you are far enough away from the Earth (and moon) their will be a point where there is no noticeable gravity.
If you were to drop a pen on the moon, it would fall much slower than on Earth due to the moon's lower gravity. Instead of dropping straight down, the pen would also drift sideways as there is no air resistance to slow it down, resulting in a slower and more horizontal descent compared to on Earth.
Equipment on the moon doesn't float away because the moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity, which is still enough to hold equipment in place. Additionally, there is no air resistance on the moon to push objects around like on Earth.
There is no atmosphere on Luna, our moon, because it isn't large enough to have enough force of gravity to keep "air" molecules held down to the moon's surface.
The moon has gravity like the earth but not as powerful, yet enough to keep you on the surface
One does not necessarily float on the moon, rather experiences less gravity which in turn doesnt pull you down at the same speed as persay on the earth
Because it doesn't have enough gravity to hold the atmosphere down? :D
The moons gravity holds them down!! The moons gravity maybe lower than the Earth's gravity but on the moon it is strong enough to win the tug of war with Earth's gravitational pull.
The moon's gravity is not strong enough to support an atmosphere.
The Moon does not have enough gravity to retain an atmosphere.
There is gravity on the moon but not enough to stay on the groung for long periods of time groung really8===D
because of the power of bacon
Gravity doesnt decline like magnetism, its fixed and proportional to the mass of the earth.
Breathing is not dependent on gravity or the lack thereof.
The Moon's gravity causes the tides on Earth by exerting a pulling force on the oceans. This gravitational interaction also causes a small effect on Earth's rotation, slowing it down over time. Additionally, the Moon helps stabilize Earth's axial tilt, which contributes to the planet's climate and seasons.
