The moon orbits the earth, it could be said that it is falling down, but it keeps missing the earth. (Over simplified).
The baseball would fall straight down towards the moon's surface due to the moon's gravitational pull. There is no atmosphere on the moon to create air resistance or drag on the falling object.
If you dropped a stone on the moon, it would fall towards the surface due to the moon's gravity. However, since the moon has a weaker gravitational pull than Earth, the stone would fall more slowly than it would on Earth. Additionally, the lack of atmosphere on the moon means there is no air resistance to slow down the stone's descent.
The effect of the moon having no air on falling objects is that any thing that is dropped will fall at exactly the same speed regardless of how heavy it is. On earth a feather will fall slowly because friction with the air slows it down, on the moon it will fall like a piece of lead because there is no air to slow it down.
Objects fall towards the ground due to gravity on both Earth and the moon. However, the acceleration due to gravity is higher on Earth than on the moon, so objects fall faster on Earth compared to the moon. Additionally, the lack of atmosphere on the moon affects the way objects fall by reducing air resistance.
If you were to drop a pen on the moon, it would fall much slower than on Earth due to the moon's lower gravity. Instead of dropping straight down, the pen would also drift sideways as there is no air resistance to slow it down, resulting in a slower and more horizontal descent compared to on Earth.
because it is in space and every thing in space is weightless.
No, it will be "catapulted" away from Earth because of the centrifugal force.

No because it would fall down due to gravity.
No. It would fall through the moon.
Harvest moon
Fall Dog Bombs the Moon was created in 2003.
By not throwing them away at escape velocity (about 2.38 km per second). The moon's gravity will pull the things back; they will fall down.
