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.

Will an astronaut weigh more or less than the moon?

An astronaut will weigh less on the moon compared to on Earth due to the moon's lower gravity. The moon's gravitational pull is about 1/6th of Earth's, so an astronaut's weight would be significantly reduced on 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


What is the astronaut inertia on the moon?

The astronaut's inertia on the moon would be the same as on Earth, as inertia is an object's resistance to a change in motion. However, due to the moon's lower gravity, the astronaut would weigh less and experience a reduced force opposing their motion compared to Earth.


What is a sentence for astronaut?

The astronaut floated weightlessly in the spacecraft, looking down at the Earth below.

When a an astronaut on the moon facing earth will observe the eclipse of what?

When an astronaut on the moon is facing Earth, they could observe a lunar eclipse. During a lunar eclipse, Earth passes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow over the moon. The moon appears to darken as it moves into Earth's shadow.


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.


Where would an astronaut weigh the most the moon or earth?

An astronaut would weigh more on Earth than on the moon due to the stronger gravitational pull of Earth. The gravitational force on the moon is about one-sixth that of Earth, so objects weigh less on the moon than on Earth.


What happens to the mass of an astronaut when he is on the moon?

The mass of an astronaut remains the same on the moon as it does on Earth. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and does not change based on location. However, the astronaut's weight would be less on the moon due to the moon's lower gravitational force compared to Earth.


Why does the moon float and not get pulled to earth?

Because of the gravitational force difference on earth and moon.


How do you travel from earth to moon?

a rocket but you will have to become an astronaut first


When a person on the earth is observing a lunar eclipse which eclipse an astronaut on the moon facing the earth observe?

The astronaut on the moon would observe a solar eclipse. This is because the Earth is blocking the Sun from the astronaut's point of view, similar to how the Moon blocks the Sun during a solar eclipse seen from Earth.
