The Moon has mass, so it does have gravity. That is why people can walk on the Moon and not go off into space. The Moon's force of gravity (1.6m/sec2) is just 1/6 of the Earth's (9.81 meters/sec2) because the Moon is not as massive as the Earth.
The lower force of gravity means that when the astronauts walked on the moon, each step was more like a large bounce !
What else can I help you with?
What is the gravity of the moon with respect to that of the earth?
the moon has less gravity because if you walk on the moon you would bounce not properly walk.
Do astronauts need to walk on the moon?
Astronauts do not need to walk on the moon to conduct experiments or gather samples. They can use rovers and specialized equipment to explore the surface without walking. Walking on the moon would be difficult due to the moon's low gravity and lack of atmosphere.
Why do astronauts on the moon bounce when they walk?
Because the gravity on the Moon is only 1/6th of that on Earth. Humans are used to pushing down hard when we walk, and that is not needed on the moon, so the extra force bounces them into the air. In a bit greater detail, the lower gravity on the moon actually makes it harder to keep your balance, as we are adapted to much stronger gravity. It is much easier to move by jumping.
Why people cannot walk in space?
people cannot walk in space because there is a lot of gravity
If you were the next person to walk on the moon you would be the th person to walk on the moon?
You'd be the 13th; twelve people have walked on the moon.
What is the gravity of the moon with respect to that of the earth?
the moon has less gravity because if you walk on the moon you would bounce not properly walk.
Why you can not walk on the moon?
You can not walk like on earth on the moon, as it has less gravity you will bounce about.
How can a person walk on the moon when there is 0 gravity there?
The moon has gravity, although less than Earth has.
Can you walk around on the moon like you can on earth?
No we cant walk on the moon like we can on Earth because of the Gravity.The gravity of the moon is weaker as compared to Earth's gravity. I think that the moon's gravity is x10 times weaker than of Earths'. Let me make tis point sure and tell you.wow1st the moons gravity is roughly 1/6 that of Earth's ( 16.66 % ) and it will change how you walk and move. 2nd Since there is no air on the moon you have to wear a space suitSo no you can't walk around like on earth
Why hard to walk on the moon than in the Earth?
On Earth, there is more gravity than on the moon. There is no air resistance on the moon.
How do you get your weight on the moon?
The force of gravity of the Moon is about 1/6 that of Earth. So on the Moon you would weight about 1/6 of what you weight on Earth. i do not understand the question do you mean how do i find out my weight if i were to stand on the moon? NONE as the moon has little gravity (i think) or how do people walk on the moon?# there space boots are very heaving although when they walk in them they dont seem that heavy as there is no gravity but the weights in the bootsw drag the perspn down to the surface of the moon hope that helps Lve from Rachel dg101 XxX
Is there enough gravity on Mars to walk?
For sure. Mars has about twice the gravity of the Moon and the astronauts could walk there. Mars has about a third of the gravity of the Earth, so you could walk quite happily - albeit with a lot less effort.
Can astronauts walk in space or only on the moon etc?
they cant walk in space because there is no gravity they are just floating
Do astronauts need to walk on the moon?
Astronauts do not need to walk on the moon to conduct experiments or gather samples. They can use rovers and specialized equipment to explore the surface without walking. Walking on the moon would be difficult due to the moon's low gravity and lack of atmosphere.
Why can the walk on the moon proply?
The gravity is so much lower, and their suits are so restrictive.
Why do astronauts on the moon bounce when they walk?
Because the gravity on the Moon is only 1/6th of that on Earth. Humans are used to pushing down hard when we walk, and that is not needed on the moon, so the extra force bounces them into the air. In a bit greater detail, the lower gravity on the moon actually makes it harder to keep your balance, as we are adapted to much stronger gravity. It is much easier to move by jumping.
How did Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong make history?
By being the first people to walk on the moon.
