Why do astronauts weigh less on the Moon than on the Earth?
Astronauts weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less mass and gravity than Earth. The gravitational force on the Moon is about 1/6th that of Earth, so objects (including astronauts) weigh less on the Moon due to this weaker gravity.
Does gravity pull on astronauts while in orbit around earth?
Yes. Gravity is what keeps them in orbit. If it were not for gravity, those astronauts would continue out into space in a straight line.
Why is that astronauts have less weight on the moon than they have on Earth?
Astronauts weigh less on the Moon than on Earth due to the Moon's weaker gravitational pull. The Moon's gravity is about one-sixth that of Earth's, resulting from its smaller mass and size. This means that objects, including astronauts, experience less gravitational force, making them feel lighter when on the lunar surface. Consequently, while their mass remains unchanged, the reduced gravity affects their weight significantly.
Which force pulls everything down to earth?
The force that pushes downward on objects on earth is called gravity.
Are you bound to earth by electric forces or by gravity?
gravity because gravity is dependant on mass and not on charge like an electric field

Why does venus have lower gravity than earth?
Venus has lower gravity than Earth because it has a smaller mass than Earth. Gravity is directly proportional to the mass of a planet, so planets with smaller masses will have lower gravitational forces.
At what altitude does the Earth's gravity no longer have an effect on the astronauts or the space shuttle?

Does the astronauts fly on moon due to earth gravity?
No

Why do astronauts weigh less on the moon then they do on earth?
because of gravity

What causes the earth to have gravity?
Earth is hafly big, so it has gravity. Larger, it has more gravity. Smaller, it has less gravity.
How would these gravity forces change if the Earth got much smaller?
If Earth became much smaller, the force of gravity on its surface would decrease because gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the planet. The smaller size would also result in less gravitational attraction between objects on Earth and a weaker gravitational pull overall.
Why is the weight of astronauts less than what they way on earth?
gravity is stronger on the earth cuz the earth is bigger that the moon :)>'
Is Mars' gravity stronger or weaker than earth's?
Mars has a weaker gravity than earth because it is a smaller planet and is smaller than
