The Earth's mass is 81 times the mass of the Moon, so the force of gravity at any given distance is 81 times more. Earth's gravity at the surface is six times more than the Moon's gravity on the surface; that means that the following things are six times greater on Earth:

* Gravitational acceleration - if you let an object fall, how fast does its velocity change. On Earth, acceleration due to gravity is about 9.82 meters/second2, on the Moon, it is about 1.62 meters/second2.

* The weight of any given object. On Earth, a kilogram has a weight of about 9.82 newton; on the Moon, it is about 1.62 newton.

How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?

Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.


What is the compare of the earth and the moon in terms of size and surface gravity?

earth is 81.3 times the mass of the moon . acceleration due to gravity at earths surface = 9.82 (m/s)/s acceleration due to gravity at moons surface = 1.62 (m/s)/s . 1 kg at earths surface, force = 1 * 9.82 = 9.82 newtons 1 kg at moons surface, force = 1 * 1.62 = 1.62 newtons


What is the Suns gravity in relation to Earths gravity?

The Sun's gravity, at its surface, is about 28 times Earth's surface gravity.


Is there gravity on the moons surface?

1/6 th that of the Earth's because it is 6 times less massive


Surface gravity of Neptune?

Neptune's gravity is 1.14 times the earths gravity. So if you weigh 100 pounds you would weigh 114 on Neptune.


Is the moons gravity 6 times stronger than the earth gravity?

No. It is about 5 times weaker.


What is the gravity of Callisto?

Callisto, one of Jupiter's moons, has a surface gravity of about 0.126 times that of Earth, or 1.235 m/s². This means that objects on Callisto weigh less than they would on Earth due to the weaker gravitational force.

What is gravity of Jupiter compared to the earth?

Since Jupiter has 317 times the mass of Earth, its gravitational attraction at any given distance is also 317 times greater. On the other hand, the surface gravity (please note that Jupiter doesn't have a proper "surface", though) is approximately 2.5 times that of Earth.


What is charon's surface gravity?

The surface gravity of Pluto's moon Charon is around 0.278m/sec2. Compared with Earth gravity of 9.81 m/sec2, it is around 0.028g or 2.8% of earths gravity.


How many times stronger is Neptune's gravity compared to earth's gravity?

91% of earths gravity.


What percent of earths gravity does sun have?

The Sun's gravity is about 28 times stronger than Earth's gravity at the surface of the Earth. However, because the Sun is much farther away than Earth's own radius, its gravitational influence on Earth is significantly weaker compared to Earth's own gravitational pull.
