Gravity is a force created by and felt by mass. All massive objects have a force of gravity that is directly proportional to the amount of mass within the object. The gravitational constant is a coefficient that relates exactly how much mass = how much gravity.

Given that the moon is less massive than the Earth, we would expect less gravity. Similarly, Jupiter has much more mass than the Earth and also has more gravity.

Is the Moon's gravity stronger than a pencil?

Yes, the Moon's gravity is much stronger than that of a pencil. The Moon's gravity is what causes tides on Earth and keeps it in orbit around the Earth, while a pencil's gravity is too weak to have any noticeable effect.


Is Mars gravity stronger or weaker than Earth's moon?

Since Mars is much larger than the Moon and made of similar materials its gravity must be stronger.
