Mass .. The more mass the higher the gravity
The gravity of the Moon is 1/6th that of the Earth's.
There is some gravity on the moon just not as much as there is on Earth.
Essentially its the difference between the masses, the moon is roughly 1 / 81 the mass of the earth, say you are 10 million metres from earth and your mass is 100 kg, the force on you (and the earth) would be 399 newtons.
At 10 million metres from the moon and a mass of 100 kg, the force on you (and the moon) would be 4.9 newtons ( roughly 1 / 81 of the force on earth example)
The gravity on earth is 9.8m/s^2
I believe the gravity on the moon is 1.6m/s^2
The strength of an object's gravity depends on its mass. The moon is quite a bit smaller than the earth, and so only has about 1/6th of the gravitational pull.
Gravity (the force between two objects) is expressed as G x M1 x M2 / R^2, or, in words, the Gravitational Constant times the Mass Of Object one times the Mass of Object Two divided by the Distance Between the Objects squared.
Object One exerts a force on Object Two, and Object Two exerts the same force on Object One.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant for a better discussion.
The gravity on the moon is a lot lower than that on Earth, around 1/6th of the strength. This is down to the smaller mass of the moon, the smaller size and the lower mass of the moon means that its gravitational field is lower. An objects gravitational field strength is related to its overall mass.
Mass .. The more mass the higher the gravity
The moon has less mass than Earth and therefore has weaker gravity.
Because Moon has smaller mass than Earth.
Moon
Gravity on the Moon is 0.165 that of Earth.
False. Gravity on the moon is 1/6 that of Earth.
The moon's gravity changes the tides in oceans and seas.
The moon will probably never leave the influence of the Earth's gravity completely. This is because although the moon is slowly moving away from the Earth, it only moves about 4 centimeters a year. Considering that theoretically the Earth's gravity reaches out indefinately, it would be impossible for the moon to escape the Earth's gravity completely, so the moon will never leave the Earth's gravity.
The gravity on the Moon is only 16.7 % or 1/6 from the gravity on Earth.
high tidesProbably the most notable affect of the Moon's gravity, here on the Earth, are the tides.
The Moon is not the Earth. There is no atmosphere on the Moon. There is much less gravity on the Moon. You fly different vehicles on the Moon nd on the Earth.
yes it is 1/6 the gravity of earth
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
The strength of gravity of an object is proportional to its mass. The moon has much less mass than earth does.
Because there is less gravity on the moon
Because there is less gravity on the moon
Objects fall faster to the earth, then compared to the moon, it is due to the different power of gravity on the the earth and moon.
The moon has gravity like the earth but not as powerful, yet enough to keep you on the surface
Because of the gravity.
Because of the gravity.
