The main reason is because the Earth has
80 times as much mass as the Moon has.
Yes - but the moon's gravity is only about one sixth (or 16%) of that on Earth.
The Earth's only satellite is the Moon.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, but only little, like on the moon, there is gravity but not as much as earths

yes. everything that has a mass has gravity, including urself. but on the moon the gravity is only 17% as strong as earths gravity
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.
a giant meteor was pulled into earths gravity being too big it could only orbit earth
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
No it doesn't, earth's gravity is only making the moon orbiting the earth not give the moon gravity.
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.
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.
No, the moon's surface gravity is only one sixth (1/6) of the earth's.
Its mass. The mass of the moon is even the single and only cause of its gravity.
only one.
