Does Earth have more gravity than the Moon?

Yes, Earth has more gravity than the Moon. Earth's gravity is approximately 6 times stronger than the Moon's gravity.


Where would you weigh the most on earth or the moon?

You would weigh more on Earth than on the Moon. This is because weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, and the gravitational pull on Earth is stronger than on the Moon.


Why do more meteors hit the moon than the earth?

More meteors hit the moon than the earth because the moon has no atmosphere to burn up the meteors before impact. Earth's atmosphere acts as a protective barrier, causing most meteors to disintegrate before reaching the surface. The moon's lack of atmosphere means more meteors make it to the surface, leaving more visible impact craters.


How the gravitational force of earth is different from gravitational force of moon?

The gravitational force on Earth is stronger than on the Moon because Earth has a larger mass and radius. This means objects on Earth weigh more than on the Moon. Additionally, the gravitational force on the Moon is more consistent across its surface compared to the variations on Earth due to factors like mountains and oceans.


Why are there more visible impact craters on the moon than on earth?

The moon has no atmosphere and hence no weather. Weather causes erosion. Living things are another cause of erosion that happens on Earth and not on the moon. The Earth is also more tectonically active. Continental drift happens on Earth, but doesn't happen on the moon. And earthquakes and volcanoes resulting from plate tectonics also can obliterate impact craters. And even the fact that the moon has a lower gravity than the Earth helps to preserve its craters; the walls of the craters weigh less and are therefore less likely to collapse.The earth has an atmosphere and the moon does not. Very little changes on the moon but on earth the weather changes the landscape and overgrowth covers up otherwise more obvious patterns.
