Objects fall faster to the earth, then compared to the moon, it is due to the different power of gravity on the the earth and moon.

Would a feather fall faster or slower on earth than the moon?

A feather would fall faster on Earth than on the Moon due to Earth's stronger gravitational pull. The Moon has less gravity than Earth, so objects fall more slowly on the Moon.


Does stuff on the moon float?

Because the moon has very low gravity compared to Earth, objects do not float in the same way they do on Earth. Instead, everything on the moon, including astronauts and objects, experience a sensation of weightlessness and fall toward the moon's surface at the same rate.


Why all things fly on moon?

Objects don't actually fly on the moon; they appear to fall more slowly because the moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's. This lower gravity allows objects to move more freely and fall more slowly when compared to Earth.


What happens when objects of identical objects are dropped under different gravitational conditions?

If identical objects are dropped under different gravitational conditions, such as on Earth and on the Moon, they will fall at different rates due to the difference in gravitational pull. The object on the Moon will fall more slowly because the Moon has lower gravity than Earth. However, assuming there is no air resistance, both objects will accelerate towards the surface until they hit the ground.


What effect does no wind on moon have on falling objects?

The effect of the moon having no air on falling objects is that any thing that is dropped will fall at exactly the same speed regardless of how heavy it is. On earth a feather will fall slowly because friction with the air slows it down, on the moon it will fall like a piece of lead because there is no air to slow it down.


What is the acceleration of gravity on the moon and how does it affect the movement of objects on its surface?

The acceleration of gravity on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth, which is approximately 1.62 m/s2. This lower gravity on the moon affects the movement of objects by making them weigh less and allowing them to fall more slowly compared to Earth. Objects on the moon also have a longer period of time to reach the ground when dropped, due to the weaker gravitational pull.


What objects is closest to earth in all three systems?

the moon is the closest to the earth


On the moon, which objects would fall with the same acceleration?

on the moon, which object would fall with the same acceleration


What is the approximate ratio of what objects weigh on the Moon and what they weigh on the Earth?

Earth=1, Moon=1/6. Or, Moon=1, Earth=6


Do all objects fall towards the center of the earth?

Yes, all objects on or near Earth's surface fall towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravity acting upon them. This is why objects dropped from a height fall downwards.


Does an apple fall faster on the moon or earth?

On the earth because the earth has stronger gravity than the moon


Why does the Moon's shadow fall on part of the earth?

Because the moon comes between the sun and Earth, casting the moon's shadow on Earth.
