What else can I help you with?
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.
What happens when you take a rock from earth to the moon?
The earth becomes a litle lighter and the moon becomes a little heavier.
What do people weigh on the moon?
The gravity on the Moon is about 1/6 of the gravity on Earth, so a 120 pound person on Earth would weigh 20 pounds on the Moon.
Why does a man feel weightless on the moon?
They don't. The moon has gravity but not as much as earth so they feel that they have less weight. In outer space a person would feel weightless because no gravity that they could notice is acting upon them.
Would a rocket leaving the moon surface require as great a speed or force as one leaving the earth surface?
No, a rocket leaving the moon's surface would not require as great a speed or force as one leaving the Earth's surface. This is because the moon has lower gravity than Earth, so the escape velocity required to overcome gravity and leave the moon is lower than that required to leave Earth.
If the heaviest person on Earth went to the moon would they weigh the same amount as an average adult?
No, they would still weigh slightly more.
Which of Jupiter's moons would you be the heaviest on?
The moon Io is the densest moon of Jupiter. You would weigh about 18.3% of what you weigh on Earth. Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, is the largest moon in the solar system, with a larger diameter than Mercury but with much less mass. Ganymede's larger diameter and low density mean you would weigh slightly less (14.6%) than on the Moon (about 16.6% of your weight on Earth).
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.
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.
What happens when you take a rock from earth to the moon?
The earth becomes a litle lighter and the moon becomes a little heavier.
Is gravity the same on all planets including the moon?
No on the moon you weigh approximately 4 times less on the moon than you do on Earth. Of all the planets, you weigh the heaviest on Jupiter.
What do people weigh on the moon?
The gravity on the Moon is about 1/6 of the gravity on Earth, so a 120 pound person on Earth would weigh 20 pounds on the Moon.
Do people feel a gravitational pull when they are on the moon?
yes but only 1/6th of what we feel on earth
How much more is the gravitational force of the earth than the moon?
The acceleration of gravity on the moon is about 1/6th the acceleration of gravity on earth. Any mass on the earth's surface feels about 6 times the downward force that it would feel on the surface of the moon.
Why does a man feel weightless on the moon?
They don't. The moon has gravity but not as much as earth so they feel that they have less weight. In outer space a person would feel weightless because no gravity that they could notice is acting upon them.
How does lunar gravity feel like?
it is one sixth the gravity of earth-example : 60 pound on earth would be 10 pounds on the moon
Would a rocket leaving the moon surface require as great a speed or force as one leaving the earth surface?
No, a rocket leaving the moon's surface would not require as great a speed or force as one leaving the Earth's surface. This is because the moon has lower gravity than Earth, so the escape velocity required to overcome gravity and leave the moon is lower than that required to leave Earth.
