1/6th of the earths gravity,,, If you have A 60 pound object on earth, It will weigh 10 pounds on the moon.
-- 1.623 newtons per kilogram of mass.

-- 1.623 meters per second2 acceleration

-- about 24.8 pounds per 150-pounds-on-Earth person
The gravity on earth is 9.780327 m/s^2.

The gravity on the moon is about 1.622 m/s^2; about 6 times less.
gravitational pull of moon is almost a 1/6 of that of earth
The gravity of the moon is about 17 percent that of the earth, around 1/6.

For unknown reasons, others have said:

the moon is doubling the amount of gravity on the earth.

Why don't humans feel gravity on the moon?

We do experience the gravity of the moon, as does the entire planet. But since the planet is essentially in freefall with respect to the moon's gravity we feel effectively weightless with respect to the moon. Now, when standing on the moon, humans do feel its gravity, but its strength is only about 1/6 of that of the Earth, due to its smaller mass.


Is the earth's gravity greater during a full moon?

No, the Earth's gravity remains constant during a full moon. The moon's position in its orbit does not affect the strength of Earth's gravitational pull.


Why has the earth got gravity and the moon has not?

Basically the question is wrong or the concept of gravity in your brain is wrong, as gravity exists both at moon and earth, but the value of "g" varies as at earth it is 9.81m/s^2, and at moon it is some what around 1.8m/s^2.


Why do we know the gravity on the moon compared on earth?

We can know through two ways. First, we know the moon's mass and radius. From there it is fairly simple to calculate surface gravity. Second, we have sent probes and people to the moon, making it possible to actually measure the strength of gravity.


Does the moon's gravity affect the earth's gravity?

The effects would only combine for an object outside the Earth-Moon system (such as an asteroid). Otherwise, objects near the Earth and Moon will experience gravitational effects from both. The Earth's gravity holds the Moon in its orbit, and the Moon's gravity affects the Earth, notably causing the ocean tides.

Why doesn't the moon have gravity?

The moon does have gravity, but its gravity is weaker than Earth's because the moon is smaller and less massive. Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards each other, and the strength of gravity depends on the mass of the objects.


Which is stronger the gravity on earth or the moon?

The gravitational field strength (how strong gravity is) on the Earth is 6 times stronger than on the moon.


Why is the gravity different to on the moon than on earth?

The strength of gravity of an object is proportional to its mass. The moon has much less mass than earth does.

Is the Moon's gravity stronger on it's dark side?

Yes, because the lack of photons affects the relative strength of gravity.


Is the earth's gravity greater during a full moon?

No, the Earth's gravity remains constant during a full moon. The moon's position in its orbit does not affect the strength of Earth's gravitational pull.

Why there is no gravity in moon?

There is gravity on the moon.


A backpack weights 8.2 newton sand has a mass of 5 kg on the moon . What is the strength of gravity on the moon?

To find the strength of gravity on the Moon, we can use the formula ( F = m \times g ), where ( F ) is the weight (8.2 newtons), ( m ) is the mass (5 kg), and ( g ) is the acceleration due to gravity. Rearranging the formula gives us ( g = \frac{F}{m} ). Plugging in the values, we get ( g = \frac{8.2 , \text{N}}{5 , \text{kg}} = 1.64 , \text{m/s}^2 ). Thus, the strength of gravity on the Moon is approximately 1.64 m/s².


How strong is gravity on the moon?

The gravity on the moon is approximately 1/6 the strength of Earths gravity... Therefore, 9.8m/s^2 divided by 6 is equal to 1.63 m/s^2. Thus, if a ball is dropped from a platform on the moon, it will accelerate towards the ground at a value of 1.63m/s^2.
