Yes, dust would fall because the moon produces a gravitational field of its own.

How much more gravity is on earth than on the moon?
Gravity works on Earth by pulling all the things to the center of the Earth. For example if you throw a stone in the air it will not fall into the orbit but it would come back to you focusing on you as the center of gravity. On the moon gravity is one sixth of what it is on Earth so, if you walk, jump or throw a stone in the air it would be hard for it to land down and come back to same place as from where it was launched. same with your weight.... weight on Earth: 60 Then weight on moon: 10 (1/6 of 60 or weight on Earth) Hope it helped! Thanx!
Why is it easier for a rocket to take off from the moon?
Gravity is weaker because the moon has less mass.
How can a person walk on the moon when there is 0 gravity there?
The moon has gravity, although less than Earth has.
Why do astronauts not go into space when they are on the moon?
The moon has gravity like the earth but not as powerful, yet enough to keep you on the surface
What makes gravity a vital factor within our universe?
Without gravity everything would fly off into space, including us. Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun, and keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth. Without gravity, we would be weightless.
Do moon and earth have a ring of dust?
The Earth has no rings. There may be a VERY tenuous dust cloud, but that mass would mostly have been skimmed off by the Moon's gravity, causing it to either fall to Earth or ejecting it from near-Earth space. So if there is a dust cloud near the Earth, it is too thin to detect.
Why does dust on the moon not float?
The moon's gravity pulls it back to the surface.
Why can't the moon fall in the Earth?
it's called gravity and no gravity. The moon is in a orbit in space and there is NO GRAVITY ON IT
What happens if you poop on the moon?
The moon does have gravity, it just has a lot less gravity than the earth because it has less mass and volume. The poop would fall to the surface of the moon, just a bit slower than it would on the earth.
Does a golf ball fall when dropped on the Moon?
Yes. The moon has gravity.
What was the reason when the moon move if force of gravity suddenly disappeared and moon move if inertia suddenly disappeared?
If gravity suddenly disappeared, the moon would fly out into space in a straight line. If the moon suddenly stopped moving it would fall straight into Earth.
Is it impossible to skateboard on the moon?
Yes. The moon has a surface covered in rocks and dust, which is not good for skateboarding. The low gravity would also make things difficult.
Why does a paper fall differently on the moon than on earth?
because of gravity. the paper will not actually fall onto the moon but rise up. earth has 10.0n of gravity and the moon has much less, so it wont fall but rise.
Do scientists have any moon dust from the moon?
They have lots of moon rock and there would be dust with them.
How objects fall on Earth and on the moon?
Objects fall faster to the earth, then compared to the moon, it is due to the different power of gravity on the the earth and moon.
What would happen if you dropped a stone on the moon?
Umm nothin really, becuase its zero gravity and they stone would fall slowly
Is it possible to build a rope ladder between the earth and moon?
No because it would fall down due to gravity.
