"if you could stand on the surface of the Moon, you would experience only 17% the force of gravity that you would experience on Earth. Gravity on the Moon is much less. Just to give you an example, let's say that you weight 100 kg on Earth. If you stood on the Moon, and then onto your bathroom your weight would only be 17 kg....."

∙ 12y agoBecause of the smaller mass of the Moon, it exerts less gravity. An astronaut would only weigh one-sixth what he weighs on Earth. This allowed Apollo astronauts to move about easily even in their cumbersome spacesuits.

∙ 13y agoThere are no plants on the moon as there is no atmosphere. If, in future, some are grown in pressurised environments then it is quite possible that the difference in gravity may affect them.

What is caused by the pulling of the moon's gravity?
high tidesProbably the most notable affect of the Moon's gravity, here on the Earth, are the tides.
How does the force of gravity from the earth affect the moon?
Gravity makes the Moon remain in orbit around Earth.
Does the moon's gravity affect the earth's gravity?
The effects would only combine for an object outside the Earth-Moon system (such as an asteroid). Otherwise, objects near the Earth and Moon will experience gravitational effects from both. The Earth's gravity holds the Moon in its orbit, and the Moon's gravity affects the Earth, notably causing the ocean tides.
How does the moon's and sun's gravity affect the hydrosphere?

What is the pull of gravity between earth and the moon was much less how would this affect the oceans?
This causes tides on Earth.
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.
Do the craters cause more gravity on the moon?
No. The craters on the moon do not affect its gravity.
Would having 2 moons affect the earths gravity why?
NO !!! However, it will affect the movement of the Earth in space and the movement of the Moon. This is because of their own gravitational attraction and their positions relative to each other and Earth.
How does gravity from the moon affects the earth?
No, gravity on the moon is completely seperate and does not affect the earth.

How much would a rubber band strectch on the moon?
The same as it does on earth. Low gravity does not affect elasticity

How does the moon's gravity affect lunar rovers?
The vehicles used on the Moon were designed with the Moon's gravity in mind. They would not function correctly on Earth. So the answer is that the Moon's gravity affects the lunar rovers in the same way as gravity affects cars and other vehicles on Earth.... it is what keeps them on the surface, and prevents from from floating off into space.
What is the pull of gravity between earth and the moon was much less how would this affect the oceans?
This causes tides on Earth.
