What is the moon's mass compared to the earth's mass?

1 earth mass = 81.78 moon mass (rounded)1 moon mass = 0.01223 earth mass = 1.223% of earth mass (rounded)The mass of the moon is only 1.2 percent of the mass of Earth.


Why is it the mass of the moon is less than the mass of the earth?

Because earth contains more matter as compared to moon.


How does the Moon's size compares to earths size?

The volume of the Moon is 2% compared to the Earth. You would need 81 objects with the mass of the Moon to match the mass of the Earth.


What is the mass of a hammer on the moon?

The mass of a hammer on the Moon is the same as the mass of that same hammer on Earth - or in space, or anywhere else.


Why does everything has the same mass on earth and the moon but everything weighs more on earth that it does on the moon?

Mass doesn't depend on gravity whereas weight does. And moon has gravity less than earth so a body weighs less on moon as compared to its weight on earth. But mass remains same.


Why is there a difference in an object's weight on Earth and on the Moon?

Because the gravitational force between any two objects depends on the product of both their masses. The object's weight on earth depends on the object's mass and the earth's mass, whereas its weight on the moon depends on the object's mass and the moon's mass. Since the moon's mass is very different from the earth's mass, the object's weight is also different there.


Is your mass on the Moon smaller than your mass on the Earth?

Your mass will be the same on the Moon and on the Earth. However, your weight (the force with which gravity pulls on you) would be different because gravity is weaker on the Moon compared to the Earth.


Would a 5.0kg mass on on Earth and the moon be on Mercury?

A 5.0kg mass would have the same mass on both Earth and the moon. However, on Mercury, due to its different gravitational pull compared to Earth and the moon, the mass would still be 5.0kg, but it would weigh less on Mercury than on Earth or the moon.


Why moon has less g value then earth?

The moons gravity is less than that of the earth, since the earths mass is greater than the moons mass. Gravity is related to mass and distance from that mass. The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational field it has.


Is the mass of a person different on the moon than on earth?

Yes, a person's mass remains the same on the moon as it is on Earth. However, because the gravitational pull on the moon is weaker than on Earth, a person's weight would be less on the moon compared to Earth.


How strong is the gravity on the moon compared to the earth?

Lunar gravity is one-sixth as strong as Earth's gravity.


What is the fraction of the earths size compared to the moon?

The Moon is 1/4 of Earth's diameter, 1/50 of Earth's volume, and 1/80 of Earth's mass.
