An astronaut's inertia, which depends on their mass, remains constant regardless of location, so it would be the same on the Moon as on Earth. However, the effects of gravity differ significantly between the two locations; the Moon's gravitational pull is about one-sixth that of Earth's. This means that while the astronaut's inertia remains unchanged, their weight—and thus the force of gravity acting on them—would be much less on the Moon, allowing for easier movement and reduced resistance.

What is the astronaut inertia on the moon?
The astronaut's inertia on the moon would be the same as on Earth, as inertia is an object's resistance to a change in motion. However, due to the moon's lower gravity, the astronaut would weigh less and experience a reduced force opposing their motion compared to Earth.
When an astronaut lands on the moon his inertia would be less more or same?
Inertia is related to MASS. MASS is a property of matter. Matter is the same on the Earth or on the Moon. Therefore his inertia would be the same.
Does the Earth or the moon have more inertia?
Yes, friction exists on the moon as it does on Earth, but also bear in mind that since the gravitational attraction of the moon is about one sixth as strong as that of the Earth, you would weigh less on the moon and therefore would have less friction involved in walking.
What keeps the moon moving?
The moon keeps moving in its orbit around the Earth due to its inertia and the gravitational pull of the Earth. There is a balance between the moon's velocity and the gravitational force that keeps it in a stable orbit.
What two forces keep the moon and all other satellites in orbit around earth?
Gravity and inertia are the two forces that keep the moon and other satellites in orbit around Earth. Gravity pulls the moon towards Earth, while the moon's inertia keeps it moving forward in a curved path, resulting in a stable orbit.

What happens if the moon doesn't have inertia as it travels around the earth?
If the moon doesn't have inertia, it means that if any force whatsoever is applied to it, it will be way out of wack. Inertia causes something to be resistant against a change in motion so if the moon had too much inertia, it would not move at the proper speed and Earth would be affected by its drop in movement. If the moon had no inertia, it wouldn't continue to keep its proper and exact distance from the earth and Earth would be affected by its increase in movement.Hope this helps!! =)
Do inertia pull the moon towards the earth?
No, inertia is trying to keep the moon moving in a straight line, which would be away from Earth. Gravity is pulling the moon towards Earth. The result when these two forces are combined is the moon maintaining a constant orbit of Earth.
When an astronaut lands on the moon his inertia would be less more or same?
Inertia is related to MASS. MASS is a property of matter. Matter is the same on the Earth or on the Moon. Therefore his inertia would be the same.
What would happen of the force of gravity acting on the moon became much stronger than the force of inertia?
If the force of gravity acting on the moon became much stronger than the force of inertia, the moon would likely be pulled closer to the Earth. This would result in changes to the moon's orbit and potentially lead to it eventually crashing into the Earth. The increased gravitational force would also affect tides on Earth and could have significant impacts on the Earth-moon system.
What attractive force keeps the moon in orbit around earth?
Gravity is what keeps them in attraction. The force of Gravity is determined by the mass and distance between two or more objects. The other force that keeps the moon in orbit is the moon's inertia. Without inertia the moon would simply fall into Earth; because of Gravity, the same would happen with the planets and the sun.
What keeps the earth in orbit around the sun and moon in orbit around earth?
The force of gravity and the inertia of the Earth (as it orbits the Sun). Also, gravity combined with the inertia of the Moon (as it orbits the Earth).

If the moon did not have inertia as it travled around the earthwhat would happen?
If the moon suddenly decided to stop pusing forward (inertia), the balance between inertia and the earths gravity would cease and the moon would come crashing into us. :)
What holds the moon?
The moon maintains its orbit due to the balance between the earth's gravity and the moon's inertia.
