Gravity is exactly the same on the moon as it is on Earth or anywhere else. No
matter where you observe it, two objects are always gravitationally attracted
to each other by a pair of equal forces that are proportional to the product of
the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between
their centers.
The effect of the moon's smaller size and much smaller mass compared to the
Earth is that the gravitational forces between the moon and a test mass on its
surface are about 16% of the forces between the Earth and the same test mass
on its surface.
Here are some of the noticeable effects of gravity on the moon:
-- There is a force on everything that tries to pull it down.
("Down" is a short word for "toward the center of the moon".)
-- When you drop something, it falls down.
-- When something is falling, it goes faster and faster.
-- When you toss something up, it goes up slower and slower,
then it stops going up, and begins to fall down.
-- What goes up must come down, unless it has rocket engines on it.

What else can I help you with?
What causes the water to cycle?
The gravity of the moon pulls the oceans and makes low and high tides.
Why do the moon have high and low tides every 24 hours?
It is not quite 24 hours, as it's mainly related to the sun's gravity, but also to the moon's.
What is the reason why we have low tides high tides?
The gravity of the moon pulls water towards it. As the moon and earth rotate, the water levels raise and lower in different spots.
Its gravity has a minor infulence in the ocean tides?
The Moon's gravity is a major factor in creating ocean tides. Its gravitational pull causes the water in the ocean to bulge outward at the point closest to the moon, creating high tides, and also at the point farthest from the moon, creating another high tide. The areas in between experience low tides.
What are low tides and high tides?
High tides and low tides are the effects of the moon's gravitational pull on our oceans. As the moon orbits the earth, it pulls the ocean with its gravity. Giving the result of high tide being closest to the moon and low tide to be on the opposite side of the Earth.
Does the moon's gravity cause low tide or high tide?
The Moon's gravity is the primary cause of tides - all tides, both high and low.
Why do you have high and low tides?
because the gravity of the moon
How the moon create high and low tides?
With its gravity
How does the moon cause high tide and low tide?
the gravity
Main cause of high and low tides?
The gravity of the Moon, and to a lesser extent, the gravity of the Sun.
What makes high and low tides?
Easy... the moon gravity pulls water in its direction making high and low tides.
Is the moon closer to the high tides or low tides?
Closer. Because of the moon's pull of gravity on the water.
Currents that are caused by the Moon's gravity are called?
They are called high tides and low tides!
What causes the water to cycle?
The gravity of the moon pulls the oceans and makes low and high tides.
What is the difference beteween high and low tides?
Not much of an answer, but Its something to do with the moon and gravity. Hope that helps
How does gravity affect high tide and low tide?
The moon does...... That's what my science teacher told me.
How does gravity effect the ocean?
The moons gravity pulls on the ocean, creating high and low tides. Depending on where the moon is located in contrast to where you are located, the moons gravity cause a spring tide, which is the largest hight range in high and low tides, and a neap tide, which is the least hight in high and low tides. I hope this helps. :)
