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.

Why that the moon has no gravitational force?

The moon does have gravity. It has 1/6 the gravity of earth.


What is the centripetal force holding the moon into Earth?

The force that holds the moon in place is gravity. Without gravity, there wouldn't be a moon.

How does jumping on the moon compare to jumping on Earth?

Jumping on the moon is different from jumping on Earth because the moon has weaker gravity, so you can jump higher and farther. This is because the moon's gravity is about one-sixth of Earth's gravity.


When you moves from surface of earth towards moon gravity increases or decreases?

When you moves straight from the surface of the Earth toward the moon, the force of gravity attracting you to the Earth decreases, and the force of gravity attracting you to the moon increases. The Earth's gravity is the stronger one until you're about 73% of the way to the moon, and from there the moon's gravity is stronger. So, from the time you leave the Earth, the net gravitational force on you decreases, and becomes zero when you have completed about 73% of the trip. From that point until you reach the moon, the gravitational force increases again, and when you reach the moon, the force on you is about 1/6 as strong as it was on the Earth, but pulling towards the Moon.


How do gravity the atmosphere of the moon compare to the moon?

The Moon has almost no atmosphere, so that is unable to influence lunar gravity - which is about one sixth of Earth's gravity.


If you weigh 100lbs on earth you would weigh 16.6lbs on the moon and why?

On the moon, gravity is about 1/6th of the gravity on Earth. Therefore, if you weigh 100lbs on Earth, you would weigh approximately 16.6lbs on the moon. This is because the force of gravity pulling you toward the moon is much weaker compared to the force of gravity pulling you toward Earth.
