How is gravity generated on the moon?
All objects irrespective of size that have a mass have gravity.The moon has very little gravity in comparison to the Earth The moons gravity is around 17% of that on Earth whereas the Suns is 2,800 times that of Earth's The effect of the Moons gravity is easiest to recognise with tides on Earth.
Does the moon or Mars have less gravity?
The moon has less mass than does Mars and therefore has less gravity at its surface.
What are the planet Saturn's gravity conditions?
Saturn's gravity is about 10.4 m/s² at its surface, which is slightly weaker than Earth's gravity. This means that objects on Saturn would weigh slightly less than on Earth. Additionally, Saturn's gravity is strong enough to hold its rings and moons in orbit around the planet.
Is gravity on earth greater or less then gravity on mercury?
The gravity on Earth is stronger than the gravity on Mercury.
If you were on the moon your weight would be roughly what fraction of your weight on earth?
The moons gravity is a lot lower than the Earths, so the men exploring the lunar surface will weigh a lot less, roughly 1/6th of what they do on earth.
Do all of the moons not have gravity?
Everything has gravity, the bigger it is the more it has. Moons DO have gravity, but it might be less than Earth's.
What is facts about moons gravity?
1. it is 6 times less than gravity on earth 2. 3.
Is there gravity on rhea?
Yes, Rhea, one of Saturn's moons, has its own gravity. This gravity is weaker than Earth's gravity due to Rhea being smaller and less massive.
Is there gravity on the moons surface?
1/6 th that of the Earth's because it is 6 times less massive
Why is the moon have less gravity?
Gravity is directly proportional to the mass (weight) of an object. The moon does have less pull of gravity than the Earth, but it has lots more pull of gravity than, say, the 2 moons of Mars.
Why moon has less g value then earth?
The moons gravity is less than that of the earth, since the earths mass is greater than the moons mass. Gravity is related to mass and distance from that mass. The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational field it has.
Why are we stuck on the earth instead of the sun that is more massive?
The Earth is big enough to make its own gravity, so we get stuck to it when we are born. The Sun's gravity pulls on the Earth, but Earth is in a stable orbit, so it goes around the sun instead of falling into it. Neither the Earth's gravity or the Sun's gravity pulls on us so hard that we can't move or do normal things. The Moon's gravity also pulls on the Earth, but it is less strong, so it doesn't pull us up... it only creates the tides, affecting the water.
Who has less gravity the earth or the moon?
The moons gravity is a lot lower than the Earths, so the men exploring the lunar surface will weigh a lot less, roughly 1/6th of what they do on earth. This is because the moon has considerably less mass.
Why do you weigh on earth than on the earth?
There is less gravity on the moon to pull you towards its surface than here on earth. Your mass x gravity(acceleration) = your weight. There is less gravity because the moon has less mass than the earth. All objects with mass have some amount of gravity that pulls them toward other objects with mass. The more mass you have in one spot the greater the pull of gravity there.
Why the weight of a body is less on the Moon than on Earth?
The weight of a body is less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less mass than Earth, causing weaker gravitational pull. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, so lower gravity on the Moon results in less weight for objects.
What is the gravity on the planet Io?
Io is a moon of Jupiter, not a planet. Surface gravity is about 18% of the gravity on Earth.
Why is there a high tide on the far side on earth?
Tides occur because the strength of an object's gravity depends on the distance from that object. Gravity is stronger at smaller distances. The moons gravity pulls Earth toward it, causing Earth to wobble around a point about a thousand miles below the surface as the moon orbits. Since the water on the far side of Earth experience slightly less lunar gravity than the rest of the planet it lags behind a bit, creating a high tide.
