The gravitational constant is the same for all bodies.
The actual force depends on the masses of the bodies (and the distance between them).
Since the mass of the Moon is considerably less than the mass of the Earth, the Moon's surface gravity is lower than the Earth's surface gravity.
What else can I help you with?
How does the moon rotate with the earth?
The moon rotates on its axis at the same rate it orbits around the Earth, known as synchronous rotation. This means we always see the same side of the moon from Earth. The gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon have caused this synchronization over time.
Is acceleration the same in moon and in earth?
No. Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of that on Earth.
Is their gravity on the moon?
Yes. The moon is less massive and smaller than Earth, so the force of gravity on objects near the moon's surface is less than on Earth. The gravity of the moon is around 1/6 the gravity of the Earth. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.6 meters per second per second.
Would your weight be the same in space as it on earth?
your mass will be the same, but you weight will differ. because as the calculation shows, weight= mass X gravity, and the gravity of the earth is 9.8 m/s2 and the gravity of the moon is 1.622 m/s2. so you weight will not be the same in the moon as of the earth.
By exerting the same force Steve can jump higher on the Moon than on Earth Why?
Steve can jump higher on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's gravity. This means that Steve feels less gravitational pull on the Moon, allowing him to exert the same force and achieve a greater acceleration and thus jump higher.
Why is the the weight of a body on earth not the same on the moon?
because the moon has less gravity than the earth
Is your mass on the Moon smaller than your mass on the Earth?
Your mass will be the same on the Moon and on the Earth. However, your weight (the force with which gravity pulls on you) would be different because gravity is weaker on the Moon compared to the Earth.
How does the moon rotate with the earth?
The moon rotates on its axis at the same rate it orbits around the Earth, known as synchronous rotation. This means we always see the same side of the moon from Earth. The gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon have caused this synchronization over time.
Why does everything has the same mass on earth and the moon but everything weighs more on earth that it does on the moon?
Mass doesn't depend on gravity whereas weight does. And moon has gravity less than earth so a body weighs less on moon as compared to its weight on earth. But mass remains same.
Is acceleration the same in moon and in earth?
No. Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of that on Earth.
Why is your weight not the same on the moon then it is on Earth?
The moon has much less mass than Earth does and therefore has weaker gravity.
Is their gravity on the moon?
Yes. The moon is less massive and smaller than Earth, so the force of gravity on objects near the moon's surface is less than on Earth. The gravity of the moon is around 1/6 the gravity of the Earth. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.6 meters per second per second.
How does a satellite orbit earth?
Same way Luna (the moon) orbits Earth; gravity.
Why do astronauts not go into space when they are on the moon?
The moon has gravity like the earth but not as powerful, yet enough to keep you on the surface
How does the gravity of the moon compare to the gravity of earth?
An object on the moon's surface weighs 0.165 as much as it does on the Earth's surface.
Why is the specific gravity of mercury on the moon not the same as its specific gravity on earth?
The specific gravity of a substance depends on the acceleration due to gravity. Since the gravity is lower on the moon than on Earth, the specific gravity of mercury will be different between the two. On the moon, the weight of mercury would be less than on Earth due to the weaker gravitational pull, causing its specific gravity to be different.
What force acts on an astronaut standing still on the moon?
Gravity, mainly that of the moon. Gravity on the Moon is a lot less than on Earth but it works in the same way.
