Mainly because the moon has only about 1/80 as much mass as Earth has.
True, the moon is considerably smaller than the Earth, allowing you to get
closer to its center of mass. But not close enough to compensate entirely
for the difference in mass.
The moon has one-sixth the gravity of earth.
This statement refers to the moon, where gravity is one sixth of that on Earth and it takes approximately 28 days for the moon to complete one orbit around the Earth. This relationship between gravity and orbit time is a fundamental aspect of the Earth-moon system.
The Moon has almost no atmosphere, so that is unable to influence lunar gravity - which is about one sixth of Earth's gravity.
Yes the moon has gravity. How did neil Armstrong stand on it if no gravity?
Yes - but the moon's gravity is only about one sixth (or 16%) of that on Earth.
The moon has one-sixth the gravity of earth.
The moon's gravity is one-sixth that of the Earth's;
One sixth.
True. Gravity on the moon is about one-sixth that of Earth's gravity.
The force of gravity on the moon is about one-sixth (1/6) of the force of gravity on Earth.
It is because the gravity on the moon is one sixth of the gravity on the Earth
The gravitational force of attraction between the moon and an objecton or near its surface is 0.165 of the force between the Earth and thesame object on or near Earth's surface.
No, the moon's surface gravity is only one sixth (1/6) of the earth's.
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.
