It does. Who told you it doesn't? All objects that have mass have gravity. The more mass they have, the more gravity they have. For small objects, the gravity is so weak as to be almost indetectable, even with extremely sensitive instruments. However, the moon's gravity is certainly strong enough to be not merely detectable but to actually physically feel.
The moon's mass is about 1/80th that of Earth, but its radius is also quite a bit less; the combination of the two yields a lunar surface gravity of about 1/6 that of Earth.

∙ 9y agoThere is no how come, since the moon has plenty of gravity.
At the moon's surface, the acceleration of gravity, and the
weight of any object, is about 16.5% of what it is on the
Earth's surface.

∙ 12y agoThe Moon does have gravity. About 1/6th that on Earth.

∙ 14y agoThe Moon has gravity, but it is only one-sixth as strong as that of Earth. The Moon is much smaller than Earth; this explains the difference in gravity.

∙ 14y agoThe amount of gravity an object has is dependent on its mass. The moon has a lot less mass than the Earth, so its gravitational pull is weaker.

Why does the weight of an object change when you go to the moon?
Your weight on the moon is one-sixth (1/6) what it is on earth.
An object has a mass of 180 kg on the moon What is the force of gravity acting on theobject on the moon?
To find the force of gravity that is acting on the moon you have to take the mass of the object and multiply it by the moon's gravity. It would be 180 kg times 1.63 m/s squared. Which equals 293.4 Newtons.
How does the gravity of the moon compare to the gravity of earth?
An object on the moon's surface weighs 0.165 as much as it does on the Earth's surface.
What is the difference in an objects weight on earth than on the moon?
On Earth there is gravity pulling objects down and adding weight. On the moon there is no gravity so objects are weightless.
What is the gravity of the moon Io relative to earth's gravity?
The surface gravity on Io is very low compared to Earth, due to its low mass, around 0.183g or 18.3% of the Earths pull at the surface. this is just a little more than the surface gravity on our own moon, which is about 16.5% of earths pull.
Why there is no gravity in moon?
There is gravity on the moon.
How does the flag stay on the moon if there is no gravity?
There is gravity on the moon. Gravity comes from mass, which the moon has.
How moon produce tides if there is no gravity on moon?
The moon does have gravity. Surface gravity on the moon is about 1/6 what it is on Earth.
Why does not the moon have gravity?
The moon does have gravity but it is much weaker it hase 1/6 of the earths gravity. wihout it how do you expect the men on the moon to stay on the moon?
Why doesn't the moon have any gravity?
The moon does have gravity. Surface gravity on the moon is about 1/6 what it is on Earth.
Is there gravitiy in the moon?
Yes, there Is gravity on the moon. It is not as strong as the Earth's gravity (it is about 1/6 of the Earth's gravity), but, Yes, the moon does have gravity.
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.
can Have gravity on moon?
Yes. Plenty of gravity on moon.
What are the problems of no gravity on the moon?
There are no problems. The moon has gravity.
Is there gravity in moon?
Yes the moon has gravity. How did neil Armstrong stand on it if no gravity?
What is The moon has more gravity than the earth.?
"The moon has more gravity than the earth." is a question (about the moon and gravity).
What does the gravity of the moon cause?
The moon gravity can cause tides.
