Does the moon or Mars have less gravity?
The moon has less mass than does Mars and therefore has less gravity at its surface.
Is the Moon's pulls on gravity less than earth?
The gravity on the Moon is only 16.7 % or 1/6 from the gravity on Earth.
Is the Moon's gravity stronger than the earth's gravity?
Less, about 1/6th of Earths.
Why is gravity on the moon not as strong as on earth?
The moon has far less mass than Earth, so the force of gravity will be much lower.
Why doesnt the moon have as much gravity on it as the earth?
Gravity is determined by the mass of an object. An object with twice the mass will have twice the gravitational pull. Since the moon is much smaller (has a lot less mass) than earth, the gravity on the moon is less than on 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.
Does the moon or Mars have less gravity?
The moon has less mass than does Mars and therefore has less gravity at its surface.
Why is your weight different on the moon?
Weight is mass times gravity, and there is less gravity on the moon, therefore you weigh less on the moon.
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.
Why is it easier for a rocket to take off from the moon?
Gravity is weaker because the moon has less mass.
Why is gravity on earth and not the moon?
There is gravity on the moon. The moon's gravity is much weaker than Earth's because the moon has less mass.
Why does the moon have not much gravity?
Gravity decreases as size of the object decreases. Since the moon is not as large as say, the Earth, there is less gravity since the moon has less force.
How much less is the Moon's gravity than that of the earth's?
Since the Moon's gravity is 1/6 that of Earth, the Moon's gravity is 5/6 less than that of Earth.
How did the vehicle on moon roll when there was no gravity?
there is gravity on the moon you prick its just less
Does the moon have less gravity then the earth?
Yes. The moon is 1/4 the size of Earth, so the moon's gravity is much less than the earth's gravity, 83.3% (or 5/6) less to be exact.
Is the Moon's gravity less than the earth's gravity?
Yes, it is significantly less.
Is the Moon's pulls on gravity less than earth?
The gravity on the Moon is only 16.7 % or 1/6 from the gravity on Earth.
