Because unlike Earth, the moon lacks an atmosphere. It also lacks an electromagnetic shield. Because of this any atmosphere on the moon would over time be blown away by solar winds. This doesn't happen to earth because our electromagnetic field generally protects us from solar winds.
Astronauts weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less mass and gravity than Earth. The gravitational force on the Moon is about 1/6th that of Earth, so objects (including astronauts) weigh less on the Moon due to this weaker gravity.
The gravity is less on the Moon, because the Moon is smaller than earth; it has less mass, and therefore "sucks" less than the earth. Weight is gravity times mass, you have the same mass on Earth and on the Moon (and in space), but weigh less on the moon.
It does. Astronauts on the moon can jump higher than they do on Earth but they still come back down. The moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's because the moon has less mass.
The gravitational force on the Moon is less than that on Earth because the Moon has less mass than Earth. Gravity is directly proportional to mass, so the smaller mass of the Moon results in a weaker gravitational force.
You weigh less on the moon compared to Earth because the moon has less mass and gravity. The gravitational pull on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth, so your weight appears to be lighter on the moon.
The mass of the moon is less than then the mass of the earth therefore the gravitational forces are less on the moon. It therefore allows people to take bigger strides or hops on the moon.
There is gravity on the moon. It is about on sixth what it is on Earth. This is because the moon has less mass than Earth does.
because the moon has less mass then earth
Because it's atmosphere is significantly weaker and much less dense than earth's. And also because there is no plant life to create oxygen.
Astronauts weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less mass and gravity than Earth. The gravitational force on the Moon is about 1/6th that of Earth, so objects (including astronauts) weigh less on the Moon due to this weaker gravity.
The gravity is less on the Moon, because the Moon is smaller than earth; it has less mass, and therefore "sucks" less than the earth. Weight is gravity times mass, you have the same mass on Earth and on the Moon (and in space), but weigh less on the moon.
The moon has weaker gravity than Earth does.
The moon is in its waning phase when less and less of the side facing the earth is lighted. This phase occurs after the full moon and leads up to the new moon when the side facing the earth is completely dark.
The moon is smaller, uninhabited, and barren. The Moon does not have oxygen but the Earth does. No gravity on moon but the Earth does. No water, land, life, on the moon.
It does. Astronauts on the moon can jump higher than they do on Earth but they still come back down. The moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's because the moon has less mass.
Since the Moon's gravity is 1/6 that of Earth, the Moon's gravity is 5/6 less than that of Earth.
The gravitational force on the Moon is less than that on Earth because the Moon has less mass than Earth. Gravity is directly proportional to mass, so the smaller mass of the Moon results in a weaker gravitational force.
