What experiment proves that there is less gravity on the moon than on the Earth?

There has been no experiment to test such a theory, but if you want a reason that most likely proves why, there are a myriad of reasons why we believe that the Moon has less gravitational pull than the Earth.
One being the fact that the Moon doesn't just fly away from us, because our gravitational force is stronger.
The Moon's gravity is relatively weak, but strong enough to pull our oceans to create the tides, along with the Sun, of whom despite being millions of miles away, pulls on the ocean as well.
Gravity is directly related to mass, I'm a fat person myself, but apples don't start gravitating around me like in Family Guy.

Does mars have 62 times less gravity than earth?
No. The gravity on Mars is about 38% that on Earth. So Mars has about 62 percent less gravity.
Why the gravity on moon is less than gravity on earth?
Gravity is the attraction between masses. And since the moon has less mass than earth, the gravity is weaker there. Over a distance gravity is weaker.
Why does the moon have more gravity than the earth?
It doesn't. The moon has less gravity than Earth because it has less mass.
Why is there less gravity on the moon than earth?
Gravity is the attraction between masses. And since the moon has less mass than earth, the gravity is weaker there. Over a distance gravity is weaker.
How much time less then gravity of the moon as compare to the earth?
moon's gravity is (1/6)th of the earth's gravity
Which planet has less gravity earth or mars?
Mars has less gravity.
Is gravity on earth greater or less then gravity on mercury?
The gravity on Earth is stronger than the gravity on Mercury.
Why is there less or no gravity on the moon then there is on earth?
There is gravity on the moon. It is about on sixth what it is on Earth. This is because the moon has less mass than Earth does.
Is there gravity on Mars less earth?
Yes. The effects of gravety on Mars are less than on Earth. Mars has 37.6% of Earth's gravity.
How much less is the Moon's gravity than that of the earth's?
Since the Moon's gravity is 1/6 that of Earth, the Moon's gravity is 5/6 less than that of Earth.
Why does Mercury and Mars have less gravity than Earth?
Why does Mercury and Mars have less gravity than Earth because they both have less mass than does the Earth.
Is the Moon's gravity less than the earth's gravity?
Yes, it is significantly less.
Does the moon have less gravity then the earth?
Yes. The moon is 1/4 the size of Earth, so the moon's gravity is much less than the earth's gravity, 83.3% (or 5/6) less to be exact.
Why is the specific gravity of mercury on the moon not the same as its specific gravity on earth?
The gravity at the surface of Mercury is less than the gravity at the surface of the Earth because Mercury has less mass than Earth does.
Does mars have 62 times less gravity than earth?
No. The gravity on Mars is about 38% that on Earth. So Mars has about 62 percent less gravity.
What causes the earth to have gravity?
Earth is hafly big, so it has gravity. Larger, it has more gravity. Smaller, it has less gravity.
Is the Moon's pulls on gravity less than earth?
The gravity on the Moon is only 16.7 % or 1/6 from the gravity on Earth.
