No, not at all, it is much easier. Only an electric car would run on the moon, as there is no atmosphere. As the moon's gravity is a about 1/6th that of earth, a 3,000 lb car would weigh exactly 498 lbs on the moon. There would also be no resistance from the air on the moon as there is none. Therefore that car would accelerate much quicker on the moon than on earth.

second) Yes It is, First answer is wrong.

Mass does not depend on location. A particular force causes the same amount of acceleration no matter where the object is located: near the earth, in interstellar space, or anyplace else (Fig. 3.10). If the same object experiences different accelerations at different places, it is because the forces acting on it are different,

not because its mass has changed.

the only reason I looked and looked was because I had a question asking

the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon's surface is one-sixth that on Earth. What net force would be required to accelerate a 20-kg object at 6.0 m/s2 on the moon?

The answer was 120 N

Which didn't make any sense, if you go by the first answer. but if you think about weight and mass as two different entities. and define what they actually mean. weight depends on gravitational force pulling down on an object(which can change from place to place) and, mass is determined only by the matter contained by the object.(Which stays constant from place to place)

Now looking at Newtons second Law F=MA. it doesn't say F=(weight)A. Its mass. So yes, Acceleration remains a constant

Earth and moon have no atmosphere?

Just the Moon. We have air.


Is it true that the moon has an atmosphere just like Earth's atmosphere?

Technically the Moon has an atmosphere in the sense that space near the Moon isn't quite as hard a vacuum as interplanetary space generally, but it's not "just like Earth's": it's much, much thinner, for one thing, and a substantial portion of it is sodium and potassium vapor.


How is the moon and earth different?

the moon is very smaller than the earth because,if the moon was the size of earth it would be hard for living things to be on earth from the moon being in the way all the time and it would be too cold at night.


Is sea of tranquility exist on earth?

No, just on the moon.


Is it true that earth is seen upwards from moon?

Generally, yes, just as we see the moon when it is "up". Earth can be just over the horizon of the moon, or straight up, depending where you are on the moon. The same side of the moon always faces the earth, so from the far side, Earth can never be seen.


How far is Uranus from the moon?

For all practical purposesUranus is just as far from Earth's moon as it is from the Earth.


Where is the moon in its orbit around the earth when you can not see it?

No place. The Moon is never 'out-of-sight' from someplace on Earth. When YOU can't see it is when your position on the Earth is on the opposite side from where the moon is visible. Just wait (a maximum of 12 hours) and it will be visible. Note that when the moon is sun-ward of the Earth (that is, in the day time sky) it may be very hard to see, and the closer it gets to being in line between the sun and the Earth the more difficult it is to sight.


When is the moon planet earth?

The moon will never be planet earth. The moon only has as half of gravity then earth. The moon doesn't even have oxygen. If the moon were to become earth us humans would just die. Plus, the moon doesn't even have water. We humans need water to live. We'd just die.


Can Astronauts jump high on the moon because the moon has less mass than the earth?

Yes, astronauts can jump higher on the moon than Earth because there is less gravity on the moon than on Earth. The Moon's low mass causes a force of gravity at the Moon's surface that is only about 1/6 of the force of gravity at the Earth's surface. A fully-equipped astronaut who weighs 270 pounds on Earth only weighs 45 pounds on the Moon. They must be careful though because their 123 kilogram mass is the same as on Earth, which means it is just as hard to speed up and just as hard to slow down; they must avoid the temptation to think that their reduced weight gives them reduced mass, which it doesn't.


How many moon do the earth has that revolves around it?

There is just one moon that orbits Earth. Its name is Luna.


What planet is a satellite of the Earth?

There is no such "planet". We have the Moon, but that's just a "moon".


Moon is to satellite as earth is to What?

If the Moon is to a satellite, then Earth is to a planet. The Moon is a natural satellite orbiting Earth, just like artificial satellites orbit Earth. Similarly, planets are natural satellites orbiting stars, like Earth orbits the Sun.
