Since there is no wind on the moon, any flag "flying" would have to be due to mechanical support -- exactly as was stated as having been done in 1969 (I recall that as I watched the flag being "unfurled").

How does the flag stay on the moon if there is no gravity?

The flag on the moon stays up due to its structure. It has a rod along the top edge to keep it extended and in a flat position, giving the appearance of flying in the wind. There is some gravity on the moon (about 1/6th that of Earth), which also contributes to holding the flag in place.


If theres no gravity on the moon why was the flag blowing around?

The movement of the flag on the moon was due to the astronauts rotating and adjusting the pole to plant it into the lunar surface, causing the flag to move. While there is gravity on the moon, it is weaker than Earth's gravity, leading to different behaviors of objects in motion.


What flag would you find on the moon?

The flag that represents the moon is the moon!


Why isn't the American flag floating up when it's on the moon?

No gravity


Why would a baseball go higher if it were thrown up from the surface of the Moon than if it were thrown up with the same velocity from the surface of Venus?

The lower gravity on the Moon would allow the baseball to reach a higher altitude before falling back down compared to Venus, which has stronger gravity. Gravity on Venus is about 91% of Earth's gravity, while on the Moon it is about 16.5% of Earth's gravity, so the baseball on the Moon would experience less downward force and go higher when thrown with the same velocity.


Why doesn't the US flag on the moon hang down?

Although there is gravity on the Moon, the flag had wire strips in it to stop it falling down. This also allowed the flag to look like it was "waving". The Apollo 11 mission flag fell over due to the exhaust blast of the returning flight.


What would happen if you were on the moon?

If you were on the moon your weight would lower, as there is no gravity.


What is the gravity of the moon with respect to that of the earth?

the moon has less gravity because if you walk on the moon you would bounce not properly walk.


Would i float into space if i were on the moon?

No, you would not float into space on the moon. The moon has gravity, although it is about one-sixth of Earth's gravity. You would still be pulled towards the moon's surface, but you would feel lighter and be able to jump higher compared to on Earth.


Can you or can you not do flips on the moon?

Theoreticaly you could do them easier than on earth since the gravity is significantly lower.


How deep would you have to drill into the moon to match earths gravity?

You could never match earth's gravity on the moon. You could not increase the amount of gravity on the moon by drilling.


Would there be gravity on earth if there was no moon orbiting it?

Yes. Gravity on Earth is caused by the mass of the Earth, not by the Moon.
