Would a spacecraft need as much fuel to escape from the moons gravity as it would to escape from the earths?

Escape velocity for the moon is a little over 5000 miles per hour. For the earth it is about 25,000 miles per hour. So the moon requires a fifth of the energy required to escape the earth.

At which location would an observer find the greatest force due to the earths gravity?
at the poles
Does earths gravity affect space?
No. Space is literally nothing. No oxygen, no air, no dust, nothing. objects in space, yes, the earths gravity does affect it. otherwise the moon would just fly away.
Moon gravity vs earths gravity?
Moon gravity is less because the atmosphere and mass and the earths gravity is greater than the moon if you weight yourself in the earth and then you weighted yourself in the moon you would weight less in the moon you could actually float in the moon because of its atmosphere and mass
Is so massive that its gravity does not even let light escape?
That would be a black hole.
What would happen if the space station stop moving sideways?
Earth's Gravity would pull it straight down to the Earths Surface.
How would the gravity of mars affect the landing of a spacecraft?
Does mars' gravity affect other objects. yes it does but the gravity is 38% of the earths gravity and if doesn't affect objects then it will have no moon.
What is escape volocity?
Escape velocity is the speed you would have to go to escape gravity.
Why boosters are used in space shuttle?
Well they are used because without them the space shuttle would not be able to have enough force to escape the earths gravity when it was being launched.
What is earths gravity compared to Uranus?
if we were to be on uranus the gravity would be 89% of what we get on earth.
If the universe expands would the earths gravity decrease?
no
How would spinning a spacecraft provide artificial gravity?
Centrifugal force would push the astronauts away from the center of the spacecraft. If the spacecraft was shaped like a ring, the wall furthest away from the center would act as a floor and the wall closest would act as a ceiling.
Why should a spacecraft be space-tight?
Any suddenly opening appearing in the skin of the spacecraft would allow the atmosphere inside the craft to escape out into space - causing decompression.
When will the moon leave earths gravity?
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.
Where would you experience most gravity?
closest to the Earths inside like the core
What planet would you be the lightest on?
The surface gravity on Mars is the weakest, it is 37.6% of Earths.
What would happen if you are in a black hole?
Gravity would crush you. With gravity so strong light cannot escape I am sure you wont.
How would your weight change if you went from the Earth to the moon?
Your would weigh 1/6th as much as you do here on mother Earth. The how is our moons' mass, and therefore its' gravity, is about 1/6 as much as the Earths'. Its' gravity well is not as deep as the Earths.
