The moon is about 1/6 :th of the Earth when it comes to mass. Therefore the gravity on the moon is also 1/6 :th of that on earth.
Other facts are that the moon always keeps one side towards earth, wagging a little (rocks back and forth just a little bit). Also, the moon is slowly leaving the earth, but it will take several million years yet before the changes are very noticable here on the earth. The presence of the moon stands for tides on earth, the small, but nevertheless gravity does that.
There are 2 astronomical occurences that has to do with the moon, that is when the earth itself blocks sunlight from hitting the moon, and when the moon stands in its way from the suns rays to hit the earth. The latter is the more rare occurence, and since our planet is 2/3:rds made up of water (!) that coourence is most commonly seen from the sea.

Which planet in your solar system is about half the size of Earth?
Mars is about half the size of Earth in terms of diameter.
What units would be used to describe the surface gravity of Mars?
Same units as are used to describe the surface gravity of the Earth, the moon, or any other body: Units of acceleration, such as meter/sec2 or feet/sec2 . Jun 5, 2008 - The gravity on Mars is much lower than it is here on Earth, 62% lower to be more precise. ... A person weighing 100 kg here would tip the scales at 38 kg .
Which planet has the lowest gravity at its surface?
Mars, bizarrely...The mean surface gravity of a planet is determined primarily by its mass and its radius. Prior to the reclassification of the major bodies in our solar system, the smallest planet by volume and mass was Pluto. Pluto has a mean surface gravity of 0.062 Earth equivalents.However, Pluto has been reclassified as a dwarf planet.This demotes the planet Mercury into last place in terms of volume and mass. You might expect, therefore, Mercury to have the lowest surface gravity of the eight major planets. However, the planet Mars, despite having about twice the mass of Mercury, has a radius about 1000 km larger. So, actually Mars has a fractionally lower mean surface gravity.Mercury = 0.3772 Earth equivalentsMars = 0.3769 Earth equivalents(measured at the equator).For "surface gravity", the mass of a planet is effectively concentrated at the center (the center of mass). So, the gravitational force is less when the surface is further from the center of mass.So, a planet's surface gravity increases with its mass, but reduces with its radius.One of the small contributory factors to this reversal in expected ranking may be due to the comparatively slow rotation of Mercury (58.6 Earth days per rotation with an average speed of 10.9 km/h. Compare Mars: 1.03 Earth days and 868 km/h).The small rotational speed on Mercury means the outward acting centrifugal effect, which opposes the inward pull of gravity, is small.(Strictly speaking this only matters when we are talking about what scientists call "apparent surface gravity".)
What planet looks more like earth in temperature gravity atmosphere and water?
Among the known planets, Venus has the most similarities to Earth in terms of size and gravity. However, with its thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide, extreme temperatures, and lack of liquid water on its surface, Venus is not as Earth-like as Mars. Mars has a similar day length, reasonable temperatures at times, evidence of past water flow, and lower gravity compared to Earth.
Is gravity the most powerful force on earth?
Gravity is one of the fundamental forces on Earth, but it is not considered the most powerful force. In terms of human interactions, electromagnetism is more dominant due to its effects on atomic interactions, chemical processes, and technology. However, in terms of the force that keeps celestial bodies like planets in orbit, gravity plays a significant role.
What is the compare of the earth and the moon in terms of size and surface gravity?
earth is 81.3 times the mass of the moon . acceleration due to gravity at earths surface = 9.82 (m/s)/s acceleration due to gravity at moons surface = 1.62 (m/s)/s . 1 kg at earths surface, force = 1 * 9.82 = 9.82 newtons 1 kg at moons surface, force = 1 * 1.62 = 1.62 newtons
How does the earth float if it is so heavy and has gravity?
Earth does not float. It orbits the sun. Orbit around an object is a form of free fall. In simple terms, Earth is continually pulled toward the sun by gravity, but it is moving so fat that it constantly misses. Earth does not fall due to its own gravity because that gravity is towards its center. Earth's surface is supported by the layers of rock and metal beneath.
What is the force of gravity on earth surface?
The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth is about 9.8m/s2.That's the same for all objects and doesn't depend on the mass of the object.However, the force on an object depends on the mass of the object.That's why different people have different weights, and whymost people weigh less than most trucks.Expressed in terms of force, the Earth's surface gravity is about 9.8 newtons per kilogram.
Which planet in your solar system is about half the size of Earth?
Mars is about half the size of Earth in terms of diameter.
What is the pull of gravity from 40 feet high?
When you say "high", I'm guessing you mean "above the Earth's surface". If that's true, then things weigh almost exactly the same up there as they do when they're down on the ground. The distance that affects the forces of gravity is the distance between the center of you and the center of the Earth. That distance doesn't change much when you move up 40 feet.
What is the value of gravity on the sun in earth terms?
274 meters per second squared. That's about 28 times Earth gravity.
What units would be used to describe the surface gravity of Mars?

How much gravity does the earth have please can you write it in terms a child can understand?
Its hard to explain it, but the equatorial surface gravity is 9.780327 m/s2 or 0.99732 gThe Earths gravity is around 380 ppm (pounds per mile).Sorry if this is too confusing!
How light is Uranus?

How does the gravity of the moon compare to the gravity of earth?
An object on the moon's surface weighs 0.165 as much as it does on the Earth's surface.
What does a force of 5g means to an astrnaut if he often refer to forces as multiples of the forces of gravity on earth's surface during space flight?
This means that during space flight the astronaut is feeling a force which is 5 times that of gravity, therefore the astronaut is being pulled five times as much as he is standing on the planet
