Would a rocket leaving the moon surface require as great a speed or force as one leaving the earth surface?
No. There is less gravity on the moon, therefore the rocket would feel less of a pull towards it than the earth. It would be easier to leave the moon than the earth.
What do people weigh on the moon?
The gravity on the Moon is about 1/6 of the gravity on Earth, so a 120 pound person on Earth would weigh 20 pounds on the Moon.
Why does a man feel weightless on the moon?
They don't. The moon has gravity but not as much as earth so they feel that they have less weight. In outer space a person would feel weightless because no gravity that they could notice is acting upon them.
Do astronauts feel the moon rotating?
No more than you feel the Earth rotating. In fact, it takes the Moon about 27 times as long to rotate as the Earth takes.
Do you weigh more or less during a full moon?
Lighter because the moon has almost the same density but much smaller size and as result interaction between any mass on the moon surface is weaker than on earth surface. Lighter because the moon has 1/6 less gravity than on earth.
If the heaviest person on Earth went to the moon would they weigh the same amount as an average adult?
No, they would still weigh slightly more.
Which of Jupiter's moons would you be the heaviest on?
The moon Io is the densest moon of Jupiter. You would weigh about 18.3% of what you weigh on Earth. Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, is the largest moon in the solar system, with a larger diameter than Mercury but with much less mass. Ganymede's larger diameter and low density mean you would weigh slightly less (14.6%) than on the Moon (about 16.6% of your weight on Earth).

No. There is less gravity on the moon, therefore the rocket would feel less of a pull towards it than the earth. It would be easier to leave the moon than the earth.
How would it feel to walk on the moon?
You would feel less weight on the moon, because it has only one sixth earths gravity. when something is dropped, it accelerates much more slowly than it would on earth.
What do people weigh on the moon?
The gravity on the Moon is about 1/6 of the gravity on Earth, so a 120 pound person on Earth would weigh 20 pounds on the Moon.
Is gravity the same on all planets including the moon?
No on the moon you weigh approximately 4 times less on the moon than you do on Earth. Of all the planets, you weigh the heaviest on Jupiter.
How much more is the gravitational force of the earth than the moon?
The acceleration of gravity on the moon is about 1/6th the acceleration of gravity on earth. Any mass on the earth's surface feels about 6 times the downward force that it would feel on the surface of the moon.
Why does a man feel weightless on the moon?
They don't. The moon has gravity but not as much as earth so they feel that they have less weight. In outer space a person would feel weightless because no gravity that they could notice is acting upon them.
How does lunar gravity feel like?
it is one sixth the gravity of earth-example : 60 pound on earth would be 10 pounds on the moon
Do astronauts feel the moon rotating?
No more than you feel the Earth rotating. In fact, it takes the Moon about 27 times as long to rotate as the Earth takes.
How will the Earth rotate without moon?
The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate. However, the Moon's gravitation gradually slows down Earth's rotation, so without the Moon, it is possible that Earth would now be rotating faster.The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate.

When is the moon heaviest?
When it's full
