Because gravity is much lower there because the size of the moon is many times smaller than the size of the earth.

The power of the gravity depends on the size of the planet.

Why is it advantageous for astronauts to live on a space station rather than a space shuttle?

it is advantageous for astronauts to live on a space station rather a space shuttle because a space station allow astronauts to stay and work extended time . A space shuttle is a space craft to transport astronauts , satellites, and other materials to and from space.


How do astronauts overcome gravity in space?

Astronauts in space experience microgravity, where they are in a state of continuous free fall around the Earth. This creates the sensation of weightlessness. They do not completely overcome gravity, but rather experience an environment where the effects of gravity are significantly reduced due to the spacecraft's orbital motion.


Did astronauts walk on the far side of the moon?

No, there have been no astronauts landing or walking on the far side of the moon. None have landed in darkness there, either. It is considered too dangerous. This is because it is not possible for communication signals to reach the earth from the far side. Also, the terrain is very rough, making finding a landing site difficult in the dark. The landings must take place on the side of the moon facing earth, and in the light.Note: There is no "dark side of the moon" in reality. All sides of the moon get direct sunlight as the moon circles the earth. There is, however, only one side that faces earth, and it is the only side we see from here. That gives the moon a "back side" rather than a dark side.


Why do astronauts on space orbiting earth float?

Astronauts in orbit around Earth experience weightlessness because they are in a state of free fall. While they are moving at high speeds tangentially to the Earth’s surface, the gravitational pull of the Earth keeps them falling towards it. However, because they are also moving forward, they continuously "fall" around the Earth rather than directly towards it, creating the sensation of floating. This condition is known as microgravity.

Why do astronauts use calculus?

Because they normally do wish to return to their homes and families - rather than float through space forever.


Do kangaroos run?

Kangaroos are unable to run. Their legs are specially designed for hopping and bounding. They are unable to move independently for walking, and the long hind feet are structured for long leaps rather than running.


Why is kangaroo strange?

The kangaroo is not a strange animal. It is a marsupial, meaning it is a pouched mammal. It is also a Macropod, meaning it has large feet with strong hind legs used for bounding, rather than walking.


Do you think you can walk on the moon as you do on earth?

Astronauts who have walked on the moon found that the low gravity made walking rather difficult. It was easier to move by hopping.


Can Kangaroos hop?

Yes. Hopping is the main method by which kangaroos move. Kangaroos' legs are specially designed for hopping and bounding. They are unable to move independently for walking, and the long hind feet are structured for long leaps rather than running.

Why do kangaroos jump rather than walk?

It's all to do with their structure. Kangaroos are built for jumping, rather than walking or running like other four-legged animals. Kangaroos have large, strong tendons in their hind legs which act as "springs". The springing motion requires less energy than running does, so kangaroos are able to bound for longer distances than other mammals with the standard four legs can run. They have strong back legs and elongated hind feet for bounding.


Is rather an adverb or an adjective?

Rather is an adverb. It is used before an adjective (John's socks were rather smelly), another adverb (He was walking rather slowly) or a verb (I like pop music but I rather like listening to classical music to help me to relax)
