What else can I help you with?
Has the moon got gravity?
Yes - but the moon's gravity is only about one sixth (or 16%) of that on Earth.
How much gravity moon has?
The gravity on the Moon is about 1/6th of the gravity on Earth. This means that an object on the Moon would weigh only about 16.5% of its weight on Earth.
What is Names for earths satellite?
The Earth's only satellite is the Moon.
How do rocks stay on the moon without gravity?
The moon has gravity, but it is much weaker than Earth's gravity. Rocks on the moon stay on the surface due to the moon's gravitational pull, which is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. This weaker gravity allows rocks to stay in place on the moon despite being less massive than on Earth.
Which is greater the moon's pull on earth or earths pull on the moon?
The moon is only strong enough to push and pull the tides in the ocean on earth. The earths pull is so strong it moves the entire moon in circles.
Does Mars have atmoshere?
Yeah, but only little, like on the moon, there is gravity but not as much as earths
Does mars have any atmoshere?
Yeah, but only little, like on the moon, there is gravity but not as much as earths
Does the pull of gravity work on the moon?
yes. everything that has a mass has gravity, including urself. but on the moon the gravity is only 17% as strong as earths gravity
How does gravity affect matter on the Moon?
The Moon has only about 17% of earths gravity. that means the average man will weigh about 12 kilo, if you drop a stone it will fall to the ground but slowly.
How did the earth's moon get there?
a giant meteor was pulled into earths gravity being too big it could only orbit earth
Which force is responsible for tides in the sea?
The "force" your talking about is the moons gravity as well as the suns gravity for example a "spring tide" is when the moon and sun are on opposite sides of the earth therefor stretching the oceans into an oval. A spring tide is the optimal tide meaning it is the strongest type of tide but only occurs roughly every month
How did the astronaut keep from floating away on the moon?
There isn't much gravity in empty space, but there is a great deal of gravity near planets, stars, moons and other celestial bodies. The moon has gravity because it has mass. Everything with mass has gravity (including you, albeit a VERY small amount). That's how the astronauts stayed on the moon, and the reason why their movements were slow because the moon has about 1/6 the amount of gravity as Earth.
How would it feel to walk on the moon?
You would feel less weight on the moon, because it has only one sixth earths gravity. when something is dropped, it accelerates much more slowly than it would on earth.
Does the earth's gravity make the moons gravity?
No it doesn't, earth's gravity is only making the moon orbiting the earth not give the moon gravity.
Is the moon's surface gravity is only half the earth's?
No, the moon's surface gravity is only one sixth (1/6) of the earth's.
What force keeps the moon in orbits around earth?
The force that keeps the Moon in orbit around Earth is gravity. Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects with mass, and it is what keeps celestial bodies like the Moon in orbit around larger bodies like the Earth.
When does gravity change?
Gravity is caused by mass. Everything causes gravity but the bigger it is and more mass it has the more pull is felt by its gravity. So you are pulling the earth towards you and the earth is pulling you. The earth is much bigger and has more mass, so it pulls much more. Gravity gets weaker the further away you get from its source. The earths crust does not have the same mass all over, so some areas have slightly less gravity than others. The differences between areas are very very small. The moon has only a quarter the mass of the earth, so gravity on the moon is a quarter of earths gravity.
