What is the gravity of the Moon compared to the Earth?

In: The Moon, Gravity [Edit categories]

Answer:

The gravity of the Earth and Moon are shown below.

Earth: 9.780327 m/s² or 0.99732 g
Moon: 1.622 m/s₂ or 0.1654 g

So the Moon has about 1/6^th the gravity of the Earth.

So if you weighed 100lb on Earth you would weigh 16.6lb on the Moon.
