The gravitational force between two things depends on the product of their masses.
So if one of the objects stays the same but the mass of the other one changes, the
force between them also changes.
The moon has less mass than the earth has, so the force between the moon and you
is less than the force between the earth and you.
Gravity is always a two-way thing, and the forces are always equal in both directions.
Your weight on the earth is the same as the earth's weight on you. Is that cool or what !

∙ 11y agoThe Moon is much smaller, and less massive, than Earth. Gravity depends on mass.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoGravity is a direct function of mass. The moon is smaller and therefore has less gravity than Earth. About one-sixth the gravity pull of Earth.

∙ 15y agoGravity depends on the mass of an object. Because the moon has less mass than the Earth, it has less gravity too.

Why the weight of a body is less on the Moon than on Earth?
Because there is less gravity. There is less gravity because the moons total mass is less than the earths and gravity is related to mass.
Why moon has less g value then earth?
The moons gravity is less than that of the earth, since the earths mass is greater than the moons mass. Gravity is related to mass and distance from that mass. The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational field it has.
How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?
Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.
How much stronger is the earths gravity than the moons gravity?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's.
Do all of the moons not have gravity?
Everything has gravity, the bigger it is the more it has. Moons DO have gravity, but it might be less than Earth's.
Who has less gravity the earth or the moon?
The moons gravity is a lot lower than the Earths, so the men exploring the lunar surface will weigh a lot less, roughly 1/6th of what they do on earth. This is because the moon has considerably less mass.
Is the Moon's gravity stronger than the earth's gravity?
Less, about 1/6th of Earths.
What is facts about moons gravity?
1. it is 6 times less than gravity on earth 2. 3.
Why is the gravity on the moon less than the gravity on earth?
Because the overall mass of the moon is less than the earths mass. The gravity of a body relates to the mass of that body.
Is mercurys gravity grater or less than earths?
Mercury's gravity is approx 40% of Earth's.
Is the gravity on neptune more or less than earths?
about 12% more
Why is the moon have less gravity?
Gravity is directly proportional to the mass (weight) of an object. The moon does have less pull of gravity than the Earth, but it has lots more pull of gravity than, say, the 2 moons of Mars.
