The earth's gravity is about six times that of the gravity of the moon and weight is proportional to gravitational attraction.
Because the earth is much more heavier than the moon.
Gravity is determined by the mass of an object. An object with twice the mass will have twice the gravitational pull. Since the moon is much smaller (has a lot less mass) than earth, the gravity on the moon is less than on earth.
In order of size from largest to smallest Sun > Earth > Moon. If we quote the radius of these objects. Sun ; 695,700 km Earth ; 6,365 km Moon ; 1,736 km From these figures you can see that the Sun is over 100 times bigger than the Earth, and the Earth is nearly 4 times greater than the Moon. The reason why the Sun and Moon appear to the same size is because the Moon is much nearer to the Earth , than the Sun. It is a property of optics that the further away an object is, then the smaller it appears. From the Earth;- Sun's distance is ~92,000,000 miles Moon's distance is ~242,000 miles. From the above radii you can calculate the volume of each object. By using the Gravitational Constant the masses of these objects can be calculated.
As gravity is related to mass, the object with more mass has more gravity. Thus as the Earth is more massive than the moon, it will have more gravity. This is why the moon orbits the Earth, and why the Earth orbits the Sun.
Earth exerts a stronger gravitational force than the moon due to its larger mass. The force of gravity is directly proportional to an object's mass, so Earth's greater mass results in a stronger gravitational pull compared to the moon.
An object will weigh approximately 6 times HEAVIER on earth than it would on the moon.
Earth is a about 6 times more massive than the moon (Has more density per volume, since it's technically weightless in space) Gravity is proportional to how large a planet or moon is, so the object will be heavier on earth (a larger planet) than on the moon (a small body)
He hasn't. The mass is the same, but the graviational pull from the Earth is stronger than that from the moon.
Because the earth is much more heavier than the moon.
A trick question, because there is nothing that is ACTUALLY heavier on the Moon than on Earth, but because there is no atmosphere, nothing can "float" on the Moon. So a hot air balloon or any similar device that depends on buoyancy might be measured to have a lower weight on the Earth than on the Moon.
No. An object weighs less on the moon than on Earth. This is because the gravity on the moon is much less than that of Earth, so there is less of a force pulling down on an object.
The Earth weighs 6 times more than its' moon.
Weight is the force acting on an object due to gravity. The weight of an object varies based on the strength of the gravitational pull, which is weaker on the moon compared to Earth. Therefore, an object will weigh less on the moon than on Earth.
The mass of an object would remain the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, so it does not change with location. However, the weight of the object would be less on the moon due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth.
The moon is the moon. How much of the illuminated portion we can see from Earth is completely irrelevant to its mass.
the amount of gravity on earth versus the moon
An object is lighter on the moon because the moon is smaller and thus lighter than the Earth
