No, essentially mass = gravity

the earths mass is roughly 81 * that of the moon, if you stood at the same distance from both, the force on you from the earth would be 81 * that of the moon.

Do humans weigh the same on the Moon and the Earth?

No, humans weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less gravity. The gravitational force on the Moon is about 1/6th of the gravitational force on Earth, so a person would weigh less on the Moon compared to Earth.


How will weight and mass be affected while on the moon and on earth?

The mass will be the same on the moon, as well as on earth. But more weight will be gained on earth than moon because there is more gravitational force on earth than on moon. Mass stays the same because the amount of matter in the object will not change simply by going to the moon.


How moon moves?

The moon moves in its orbit around the Earth due to the gravitational force between the two bodies. This orbit is not circular but elliptical, causing the moon's distance from Earth to vary. Additionally, the moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that it orbits the Earth, resulting in the same side of the moon always facing Earth.


Is the mass of a person different on the moon than on earth?

Yes, a person's mass remains the same on the moon as it is on Earth. However, because the gravitational pull on the moon is weaker than on Earth, a person's weight would be less on the moon compared to Earth.


If gravity is same for all bodies why not on moon and earth?

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 is the moon's gravitational pull relative to the earth's gravitational pull the moon?

The force of gravitation attracting the earth and moon toward each other is exactly the same force on both bodies.Just as the force of gravitation that attracts you toward the earth is exactly the same as the force that attractsthe earth toward you.


Why does the moon keep the same hemisphere facing earth because the gravitational force is equal to the centrifugal force?

The moon keeps the same hemisphere facing Earth because the gravitational force between the two is equal to the centrifugal force, causing the moon to stay in a stable position.


Does the earth attract the moon with a force that is greater or smaller or the same as the force with which the moon attracts the earth?

In a gravitational situation, the forces are exactly equal in both directions.-- The Earth attracts the moon with a force that is exactly the same as the forcewith which the moon attracts the Earth.-- You attract the Earth with exactly the same amount of force as the Earth attracts you.-- Your weight on Earth is exactly the same as the Earth's weight on you.


What if your weight is less on the moon than it is on the Earth why so?

Weight is the gravitational force exerted on an object. Your mass is the same on earth and the moon or anywhere else. Your weight depends on the gravitational force exerted on your mass and hence on your location.


Is it true that moon pulls on the earth with one-sixth the force that the earth exerts on the moon?

No. Gravitational force is present between every two mass bodies, and the force on each body is the same.


Do humans weigh the same on the Moon and the Earth?

No, humans weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less gravity. The gravitational force on the Moon is about 1/6th of the gravitational force on Earth, so a person would weigh less on the Moon compared to Earth.


What do you think would happen if the moon has greater gravitational force than the earth?

A single body doesn't have a gravitational force. The force only shows up when there are two bodies. It pulls both of them toward each other, and they both feel the same force. The force between you and the earth is called your "weight", and it holds you down. The force between the earth and the moon is what keeps the moon in its orbit.


How will weight and mass be affected while on the moon and on earth?

The mass will be the same on the moon, as well as on earth. But more weight will be gained on earth than moon because there is more gravitational force on earth than on moon. Mass stays the same because the amount of matter in the object will not change simply by going to the moon.

Does the earth and moon have the same amount of gravitational pull?

No, the earth is bigger than the moon so they don't have the same gravitational pull


Does everything weigh less on the moon?

Yes, as the moon has only 1/80 as much mass as the Earth, the gravitational force between it and any object is less than the gravitational force between the Earth and the same object. Every 100 pounds of Earth weight becomes 16.23 pounds on the moon.


Is force same on earth and moon?

What force are you asking about? Gravitational force is weaker on the moon, but the force required to accelerate 1 Kilogram at 1 meter/sec/sec is still 1 Newton.
