The moon has gravity, all mass in the universe has gravity, but the moon being much smaller than the Earth it has less gravity compared to it, about 16% of the Earth's gravity.

How does gravity help in rocket landing on moon?

There is no gravity in space, therefore there is no gravity to help a rocket landing on the moon.


Why is it easier for a rocket to take off from the moon?

Gravity is weaker because the moon has less mass.


How do rockets land on earth when they return from moon?

The capsule on the tip of the rocket detaches when it leaves the atmosphere of earth, lands on the moon, then the capsule blasts off the moon and lands in the ocean in a "splashdown".


Which requires more fuel -- a rocket going from the Earth to the Moon or a rocket coming from the Moon to Earth?

A rocket traveling from the Earth to the Moon requires more fuel due to Earth's stronger gravitational pull. The rocket needs to overcome Earth's gravity to escape its orbit, which requires a significant amount of energy compared to landing and taking off from the Moon, where the gravitational pull is weaker.


How high would a rocket go on the moon compared to earth?

A rocket on the moon can reach higher altitudes compared to one on Earth due to the moon's lower gravity and lack of atmosphere. On the moon, a rocket could potentially reach several kilometers in altitude, while on Earth it would likely be limited by the atmosphere to only a few hundred kilometers.


Which requires more fuel a rocket goin to the moon or a rocket comin from the moon?

Due to the higher gravity amount, a rocket will be pulled back when leaving earth, and pulled forward when going to earth.


How does a rocket land on the moon?

It lands on the moon automaticallyBy: the best college rocket teacher and space teacher Mr.HensonP.s don't forget to do your homework


Why does rocket taking off from the earth needs much more fuel than the same rocket taking off from the moon?

dunno and it need answer gravity is very strong on earth as the rocket gets higher gravity gets weaker they have to overpower gravity to lift of


Do you have to be skilled to go to the moon?

Yes you have to be able to handle the gravity and you have to know how to fly the rocket.


How long does it take a rocket to get to the moon?

takes about 2-4 days, depending on gravity


Why does a rocket take more fuel to launch off the moon than earth?

Actually its the other way around, if a rocket were to launch off the moon it would take less fuel than if it had launched off of earth. It would take less fuel because the moon has lighter gravity.


How does a rocker travel from earth to the moon?

The rocket fires it's engine and pushes out enough energy to escape earth orbit and send it to the moon, where the moon's gravity grabs it and brings the rocket into orbit or into the surface of the moon. It's takes a lot of energy to send a rocket to the moon. A Saturn V moon rocket was needed during the Apollo space mission. If you have ever stood next to a Saturn V moon rocket at a museum, you will see it takes a lot of energy to send an object to the moon.
