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.

How much gravity is on the moon compared to Earth?

The gravity on the moon is about 1/6th of the gravity on Earth.


Why is gravity on earth and not the moon?

There is gravity on the moon. The moon's gravity is much weaker than Earth's because the moon has less mass.


What is the gravity on the moon and how does it compare to Earth's gravity?

The gravity on the moon is about 1/6th of the gravity on Earth. This means that objects weigh much less on the moon compared to Earth.


Where is there no gravity other than the moon?

There is gravity on the moon but not as much as on Earth. This is because the amount of gravity depends on the mass of the object creating the gravity and the moon is much smaller and has much lower mass than the Earth. If you are far enough away from the Earth (and moon) their will be a point where there is no noticeable gravity.


How much time less then gravity of the moon as compare to the earth?

moon's gravity is (1/6)th of the earth's gravity


How much less is the Moon's gravity than that of the earth's?

Since the Moon's gravity is 1/6 that of Earth, the Moon's gravity is 5/6 less than that of Earth.


Why does the moon have no gravate?

The Moon does have gravity, but it is much weaker than the gravity on Earth.


What is the gravity on the moon compared to earth's gravity?

An object on the moon's surface weighs 0.165 as much as it does on the Earth's surface.


Does the moon give gravity to the earth?

No. Earth's gravity is due to Earth's own mass. The moon has its own gravity due to its mass, but that gravity is much weaker than Earth's.


How much smaller is the Moon's gravity to the earths?

The moon's gravity is one-sixth that of the Earth's;


How much gravity moon has?

The gravity on the Moon is about 1/6th of the gravity on Earth. This means that an object on the Moon would weigh only about 16.5% of its weight on Earth.


Why is it that the earth is not affected by the Moon's gravity?

Earth is affected by the moon's gravity. The moon's gravity exerts just as much force on Earth as Earth's gravity does on the moon, but since Earth is far more massive, it undergoes far less acceleration.
