The moon is inert.
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.
Inertia is the property of matter to stay in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is altered by some force. Even on the moon, inertia is at work. For example, if you throw a ball on the moon, it would continue moving until the moon's gravity and the friction on the moon's surface brought it to rest. If the ball is on the ground, it will stay in place until a force acts upon it.
The reason object move around space is inertia. Take the moon and Earth for example, gravity makes the moon stay close to the Earth, and inertia makes the moon circle (or revolve, or orbit) around the Earth in a circular motion. the path it takes is called its orbit.
Inertia is related to MASS. MASS is a property of matter. Matter is the same on the Earth or on the Moon. Therefore his inertia would be the same.
The Sun has more inertia than the Moon because it has a much greater mass. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its motion, and it is directly proportional to an object's mass. Since the Sun is much larger and more massive than the Moon, it has greater inertia.
The Moon.
When it an object in space in moving it will keep moving at the same speed with the property of inertia. Then moon is an object that has inertia. Gravity keeps the moon from going off into outer space but inertia keeps the moon from crashing into the moon. Gravity and inertia have to be balanced in order for an object to remain in orbit.

If the moon suddenly decided to stop pusing forward (inertia), the balance between inertia and the earths gravity would cease and the moon would come crashing into us. :)

Inertia is a natural force that impacts the forces of the moon and its orbit through the solar system.
The moon maintains its orbit due to the balance between the earth's gravity and the moon's inertia.
No, the object's inertia remains the same on the moon as it is on Earth, despite weighing less due to the moon's lower gravity. Inertia is an object's resistance to changes in its motion, determined by its mass, which remains constant regardless of the gravitational force acting upon it.
A book resting on a table and remaining stationary until a force is applied is an example of inertia.
