Why an astronaut does not get pulled into earth on the moon?
ChuaKenneth
The moons gravity holds them down!! The moons gravity maybe lower than the Earth's gravity but on the moon it is strong enough to win the tug of war with Earth's gravitational pull.

Are objects lighter when the gravity is weaker?
One example is how light an astronaut weighed when standing on the moon. As there is very little gravity on the moon, the astronaut was able to jump much higher than he could back on earth.
What happens on the side of the earth opposite of the moon?
The ocean directly under the Moon bulges out when it is pulled by the Moon's gravity. The bulge on the far side of the planet is caused by the centrifugal rotation of the Earth-Moon system. (The far side is being "spun out" from the combined Earth-Moon mass as it rotates, because it is able to move away from the center of gravity.) The solid portion of Earth's surface is also affected, but less obviously.
What are the name of Earth's moons?
The Earth has only one moon so the Earth's moon name is Moon, The Moon or it can be the Latin name "Luna".
The moon is a natural what of the earth?
the moon is a natural satellite of the earth
Which form of energy can travel from the earth to the moon?
Reflected sunlight, for sure, travels from the Earth to the Moon. Reflected sunlight from the Moon also travels to Earth. That is why we can see the Moon.
What is the mass in kilograms of an astronaut on the moon who weighs 165 lbs on the earth?
The mass in kilograms of an astronaut on the Moon who weighs 165 lbs on Earth is 12.4kg
The earth's water is pulled by the?
moon
Where would an astronaut weigh the most the moon or earth?
Earth because on the moon you would weigh one sixth
Why doesn't the earth's gravaty pull the moon into the earth?
Earth gravity is pulling the moon, that is why it orbits. The only reason the moon doesn't get pulled closer is because it is orbiting to fast to be pulled.
How do you travel from earth to moon?
a rocket but you will have to become an astronaut first
When a an astronaut on the moon facing earth will observe the eclipse of what?
sun
Is there gravity between the moon and an astronaut who is on the moon?
Yes. The moon's surface gravity is about 1/6 what it is on Earth.
Why does the moon float and not get pulled to earth?
Because of the gravitational force difference on earth and moon.
What happens when an astronaut kills another astronaut on the moon?
They have gone to the moon not to kill each other, but for a more purposeful mission. They could have done it on earth.
Why would an astronaut weigh less on the moon than earth?
The moon is considerably smaller than the Earth, both in diameter and in mass, and it therefore has a much weaker gravitational field. The weight of an astronaut on the moon is the result of the mass of the astronaut, which is not changed by going to the moon, and the gravitation field of the moon. A weaker gravitational field produces a lower weight.
An astronaut on the moon would have the same as on Earth?
-- name -- age -- mass
Does an astronaut do more work climbing a ladder on the earth or on the moon?
yes
