What else can I help you with?
How strong is the gravity on the moon compared to the earth?
Lunar gravity is one-sixth as strong as Earth's gravity.
How does the force of gravity from the earth affect the moon?
Gravity makes the Moon remain in orbit around Earth.
Why does moon have no gravity?
The Moon does have gravity, but its gravitational force is only about 1/6th that of Earth's. This is because the Moon is much smaller and less massive than Earth. The effect of gravity on the Moon is still strong enough to affect objects, including causing tides on Earth.
If you weigh 100lbs on earth you would weigh 16.6lbs on the moon and why?
On the moon, gravity is about 1/6th of the gravity on Earth. Therefore, if you weigh 100lbs on Earth, you would weigh approximately 16.6lbs on the moon. This is because the force of gravity pulling you toward the moon is much weaker compared to the force of gravity pulling you toward Earth.
Gravity provides a centripetal force on the Moon helping it stay in orbit around Earth?
Correct! The force of gravity between the Earth and the Moon acts as a centripetal force, keeping the Moon in its orbit around the Earth. This balance between gravity and the Moon's inertia allows it to continuously move in a circular path around the Earth.
Why is gravity on the moon not as strong as on earth?
The moon has far less mass than Earth, so the force of gravity will be much lower.
Why does one lose weight on moon?
The moon is much smaller than the earth. As a result, the force of gravity on the moon is only about one sixth as strong as gravity on earth. Gravity is what holds us down on the earth's (or moon's) surface.
How does the force of gravity on the moon compare to that on Earth?
The force of gravity on the moon is about one-sixth (1/6) of the force of gravity on Earth.
When you moves from surface of earth towards moon gravity increases or decreases?
When you moves straight from the surface of the Earth toward the moon, the force of gravity attracting you to the Earth decreases, and the force of gravity attracting you to the moon increases. The Earth's gravity is the stronger one until you're about 73% of the way to the moon, and from there the moon's gravity is stronger. So, from the time you leave the Earth, the net gravitational force on you decreases, and becomes zero when you have completed about 73% of the trip. From that point until you reach the moon, the gravitational force increases again, and when you reach the moon, the force on you is about 1/6 as strong as it was on the Earth, but pulling towards the Moon.
How strong is the Moon's gravity compard to that of earth?
Gravity on the Moon is 0.165 that of Earth.
Is there gravitiy in the moon?
Yes, there Is gravity on the moon. It is not as strong as the Earth's gravity (it is about 1/6 of the Earth's gravity), but, Yes, the moon does have gravity.
Why do you have less weight when you go to the moon?
Weight is the force of gravity between you and the Earth, pulling you together. The moon, which is much smaller than Earth, has less mass so gravity isn't as strong. Therefore, the force between you and the moon will be less.
How strong is the gravity on the moon compared to the earth?
Lunar gravity is one-sixth as strong as Earth's gravity.
Which has a weakes gravitational pull the moon or the earth?
On the moon, the gravity is not as strong as it is on Earth. This means that an object has less weight but the same mass. However, the gravity that keeps the moon and the Earth together is a balanced force - so it depends on what you mean...
Why that the moon has no gravitational force?
The moon does have gravity. It has 1/6 the gravity of earth.
What is the centripetal force holding the moon into Earth?
The force that holds the moon in place is gravity. Without gravity, there wouldn't be a moon.
How does the force of gravity from the earth affect the moon?
Gravity makes the Moon remain in orbit around Earth.
