Why is gravity on earth and not the moon?
There is gravity on the moon. The moon's gravity is much weaker than Earth's because the moon has less mass.
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.
Is gravity present on moon?
Yes, gravity is present on the moon. However, the gravity on the moon is about 1/6th that of Earth's gravity. This is why objects and people weigh less on the moon compared to Earth.
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.
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 is there less gravity on moon?
The moon has less mass than Earth. Gravity is proportional to mass, so there is less gravity on the moon.
Does the moon or Mars have less gravity?
The moon has less mass than does Mars and therefore has less gravity at its surface.
What holds the Earth's atmosphere in place?
The atmosphere is held in place by the earth's gravity. Gravity is related to mass, the more mass a planet has, the more gravity. A much smaller planet like mercury or a body such as the moon will have less gravity, not enough to hold an atmosphere - the gravity is not strong enough to prevent the gas particles from escaping into space.
What holds a moon in orbit?
The gravity of its planet.
Is gravity the force that holds the moon in orbit around the earth?
Gravity
What is the centripetal force holding the moon into Earth?
The force that holds the moon in place is gravity. Without gravity, there wouldn't be a moon.
Why is your weight different on the moon?
Weight is mass times gravity, and there is less gravity on the moon, therefore you weigh less on the moon.
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.
Why is it easier for a rocket to take off from the moon?
Gravity is weaker because the moon has less mass.
Why is gravity on earth and not the moon?
There is gravity on the moon. The moon's gravity is much weaker than Earth's because the moon has less mass.
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 the moon have not much gravity?
Gravity decreases as size of the object decreases. Since the moon is not as large as say, the Earth, there is less gravity since the moon has less force.
