Yes.

The moon is less massive and smaller than Earth, so the force of gravity on objects near the moon's surface is less than on Earth. The gravity of the moon is around 1/6 the gravity of the Earth. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.6 meters per second per second.

Gravity on the moon has exactly the same characteristics and behavior as it

has on Earth and everywhere else. It causes a pair of forces between any

two objects, that are proportional to the product of the objects' masses and

inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

Because of the moon's much smaller mass, the force between the moon and

an object on its surface is only about 16% as strong as the force between the

Earth and the same object when the object is on the Earth's surface.

No, gravity is not the same on the moon as on earth. Because the mass of the moon is so much smaller than the mass of the earth, your weight on the moon would be about one sixth of what you weigh on earth.

There is gravity on the moon, just less of it, because the moon has less mass than the earth.

No, there is no air pressure on the Moon since there is no air on the Moon. Space is a vacuum, and therefore has no air, and the Moon does not have any air.

Yes, but it is only about 1/6th as strong as Earth's gravity.

There Is gravity on the Moon. It's less than the gravity on the Earth, because the Moon is smaller than the Earth, but, there is gravity on the Moon.

Yes there is gravity on the moon. However it is 1/6 the of the gravity on earth. Therefore, one could jump six times higher on the moon than they could on earth.
