Why is a persons weight different on earth than on the moon?
The gravity is less on the Moon, because the Moon is smaller than earth; it has less mass, and therefore "sucks" less than the earth. Weight is gravity times mass, you have the same mass on Earth and on the Moon (and in space), but weigh less on the moon.
Why is the gravity on the moon less than on the earth?
because the moon has less mass then earth
Why is there less or no gravity on the moon then there is on earth?
There is gravity on the moon. It is about on sixth what it is on Earth. This is because the moon has less mass than Earth does.
Does the earth and the moon have the same amount of mass?
No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.
Why moon has less gravity?
The Moon has much less mass than the Earth.
Why do men weigh less on the moon?
because the moon has less mass than earth so humans weigh less on the moon than earth
Why is there less gravity on moon?
The moon has less mass than Earth. Gravity is proportional to mass, so there is less gravity on the moon.
Why does the moon have more gravity than the earth?
It doesn't. The moon has less gravity than Earth because it has less mass.
Why does the moon have less gravity le?
It is because the moon has less mass than the earth.
Why is the gravity different to on the moon than on earth?
The strength of gravity of an object is proportional to its mass. The moon has much less mass than earth does.
Why is weight less on the moon?
The moon has less mass than the Earth, so it has less gravity. This is why you're lighter on the moon.
If you weigh less on the moon do you have less mass?
No, you have the same mass. The reason why you weigh less is because the moon has a less gravitational pull on you since it has less mass than the earth.
