because it has a more gravity and it pulls it towards the moon

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 Does earth contain more metal than the moon?

Earth contains more metal than the Moon because Earth's higher gravity caused heavier materials like metals to sink towards its core during its formation. The Moon, being smaller with weaker gravity, was not able to retain as much metal in its composition.


Why is the moons surface much more heavily cratered than earths surface?

A Biblical answer from Genesis 1 would be that in the beginning the Earth was covered with water. During creation week this water was separated into areas on the Earth and above the Earth. Like seas/lakes below and a "giant peel" of water above somewhere in the stratosphere. Any Meteors impacting the earth at first would fall in water, later go through the "peel of water". So only after the Flood Meteors that survived the Atmosphere would hit the Earth and leave a crater, hence less craters on Earth.


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.

Does the moon has more craters than the earth?

Yes it does. The Moon has no air to stop meteors.


Why is the moon full of craters but the earth is not?

The Moon's surface is heavily cratered because of of meteor impacts. Meteors are able to more commonly strike the Moon's surface than the Earth's surface because the Moon's atmosphere is not as strong as the Earth's, so less meteors burn up in the Moon's atmosphere than they do in the Earth's atmospheres. So the craters are simply the result of heavy meteor impacts. Answer #2 The moon has no weather to erode craters. Speculation is that the earth has been hit at least as many times as the moon because of our greater mass. Wind, water, and plate tectonics wipe out the evidence on earth.


What is The moon has more gravity than the earth.?

"The moon has more gravity than the earth." is a question (about the moon and gravity).


Is this sentence grammatically correct. Why do meteors have such a larger impact on the Earth then on the moon?

No, it is not grammatically correct. "Such a" can only be followed by a base-form adjective, like "large." If you want to make a comparative sentence, you might say, "Why do meteors have a MUCH larger impact on the Earth THAN on the moon."


Do you weight more on the moon then you do on earth?

No; you weigh more on the Earth than you do on the moon.


Why do more meteorites hit moon?

Do they? I don't believe this is known. I have not been able to find any real estimate for the numbers of meteorites hitting the Moon or the Earth so a comparison is kind of unwarranted.However, I would expect more meteorites to hit the Moon than the Earth *per unit surface area* because the Moon has very little atmosphere. A lot of meteors hit the Earth's atmosphere without ever reaching the Earth's surface because they burn up in the air. The Moon has no such protective covering and so will be hit by all the meteors that head its way.


How is the Moon and Earth different from the Earth?

The moon is much more smaller than the Earth.


What are the meteors sand meteorites?

meteorites-larger chunks that land on earth's surface are called ''meteorites''meteors-at certain times,we see more meteors than usual and they appear as a ''showers''


How often do meteors hit the moon?

Meteors hit the moon fairly frequently due to its lack of atmosphere to burn them up before impact. The Moon's surface is covered with impact craters, evidence of past meteor strikes. On average, it is estimated that the Moon is hit by meteors about 2800 times per year.


Which has more gravity earth or moon?

The Earth has about six times more gravity than the Moon.


What weights more earth or moon?

The mass of the Earth is six times more than the moon.


Would an object weigh more on the earth or the moon?

The planet Earth has more gravitation pull than its moon. Therefore the weight on earth is more than that on the moon. The mass though does not change.
