On the moon, it would take less energy to set the block in motion due to the decreased gravity, but you would also find yourself in a much more difficult position. With less gravity, you would have significantly less traction, and would be more likely to push yourself away from the block (assuming the block is significantly larger than yourself). Though, if you had something fixed against which to brace (a vertical rock face, for example), you would be able to push the block more easily on the moon than on earth.

Are there eclipses on the moon?
Sure! What we call a lunar eclipse is the shadow of the earth on the moon. So if you were on the moon, you would see the earth block out the sun.
Does the earth block the moon?
It can. It's called a lunar eclipse.
How is it that the moon can block out the sun?
the moon appears to be the same size as the sun because it is closer to earth
Why is thermal escape of atmospheric gas much easier from the Moon than from Earth?
Because the Moon's gravity is so much weaker than Earth's.
Would it be easier to lift a truck on the moon or on the earth?
It would be much easier to lift a truck on the moon because there is no gravity out in space, so it would be simpler and not as heavy.
Why does the earth not block the sun from reaching the moon during a full moon?
The earth does not block the sun during *most* full moons because it is not *directly* between the sun and moon. If the earth does block the sun from the moon, then the earth must be directly between the sun and moon. This will happen at full moon, since the three must be in a line, and you would see the full moon, then the eclipse, then the moon fully illuminated again.
Is it easier to catch a butterfly on the earth or moon?
On moon because its dead

Why is there a solar eclipse and lunar eclipse?
There is a solar eclipse when the moon blocks the sun from the Earth. A lunar eclipse is when the earth block the sun from the moon.
Why is one likely to see a larger number of lunar eclipses from a given place on the earth than the solar eclipses?
The earth is larger. It is much easier to block light to the moon than it is to block light to the surface of the earth by a smaller object. Imagine a baseball(Moon) and a basketball(Earth) and there is one light in the room. You put the basketball in between the baseball and the light, it completely covers the moon in darkness. Now pass the baseball in between the basketball and the light, shadow only covers a small area of its surface. This is why its more rare to witness a Solar Eclipse where the moon blocks a small portion of earth's surface, than a lunar eclipse where the Earth blocks all of the sunlight from the moon.
What kind of eclipse occurs when the moon block sunlight from the earth?
A Solar Eclipse.
When the moon block out the sun during a lunar eclipse?
When the moon blocks out the sun it is a solar eclipse.A lunar eclipse is when the Earth is between the Sun and the Earth casts a shadow over the Moon.

Why is moon seen fainter before lunar eclipse?
Because the Earth is starting to block the light from the Sun reaching the Moon.
