Gravity has to do with the amount of mass an object has; not an atmosphere. The bigger the object, the stronger the gravitational pull. That's why people feel lighter on the moon than they do on Earth.

How do gravity the atmosphere of the moon compare to the moon?

The Moon has almost no atmosphere, so that is unable to influence lunar gravity - which is about one sixth of Earth's gravity.


Why there is no atmosphere on the moon?

There is no atmosphere on the Moon because it does not have sufficient gravity to hold an atmosphere to it's surface.


Why does the moon have gravity but no air?

The moon has gravity because it has mass, which creates a gravitational pull. However, the moon has no atmosphere because its gravity is too weak to hold on to gases like air. As a result, the moon has a vacuum environment with no air or atmosphere.


Why lack of atmosphere around the moon?

The moon's gravity is too weak to hold on to an atmosphere.


There is no atmosphere on moon why?

The moon is too small to created the gravity necessary to retain an atmosphere.


What is the the earths moons atmosphere?

There is no atmosphere on the moon. There is insufficient gravity to keep an atmosphere there.


Why moon has no atmosphere.?

That is related to the fact that the Moon has less gravity - its escape velocity is less. This allows any atmosphere to evaporate into space within a reasonable time.


Why is there no atmospher on the moon?

The moon's gravity is not strong enough to support an atmosphere.


Why there is not atmosphare on the moon surface?

The Moon does not have enough gravity to retain an atmosphere.


Why can't the atmosphere of gas giant planets escape into space?

Where a planet or moon has an atmosphere, it is the gravity of the moon or planet that holds the atmosphere on the planet or moon.


Why their is no air in space?

The atmosphere we breath is held round the earth's surface due to earth's gravity. Without this gravity, earth's atmosphere would disperse into space. Because our moon's gravity is weak, so there is no atmosphere on the moon.


There is no gravity air and what on the moon?

The Moon does have gravity! It is weak (just 1/6th of the Earth's) so the Moon has very little atmosphere.
