An object on the moon's surface weighs 16.55% as much as the same object

weighs when it's on the Earth's surface. That's about 1/6 as much.

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

What is the gravity on the moon lo?

About 0.183g, where one g is the earths gravity, so about one fifth of the earths gravity. It is similar to our own moons surface gravity.


How does gravity affect the movement of the moons?

Earths gravity keeps the moon from flying off in the same way the sun keeps earth in balance.


How would your weight change if you went from the Earth to the moon?

Your would weigh 1/6th as much as you do here on mother Earth. The how is our moons' mass, and therefore its' gravity, is about 1/6 as much as the Earths'. Its' gravity well is not as deep as the Earths.


How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?

Earth's surface gravity is about six times stronger than the Moon's. This means that an object on Earth weighs about six times more than it would on the Moon.


How come moons orbit Jupiter even though sun have greater gravitational pull?

If you compare surface gravity, yes the sun's gravity is stronger than that of Jupiter. But gravity decreases in strength as you get farther from the object. Jupiter's moons are close enough to Jupiter and far enough from the sun that Jupiter's gravity has more influence.
