∙ 11y agoThe 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 1/6th the gravity of the Earth.
So if you weighed 100lb on Earth you would weigh 16.6lb on the Moon.

How strong is the gravity on the moon compared to the earth?
Lunar gravity is one-sixth as strong as Earth's gravity.
The moon has no gravity but the rocket lands on it How?
The moon has gravity, all mass in the universe has gravity, but the moon being much smaller than the Earth it has less gravity compared to it, about 16% of the Earth's gravity.
What is the force on the Moon's surface compared to the force of gravity on earths surface?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of the earth's.
How objects fall on Earth and on the moon?
Objects fall faster to the earth, then compared to the moon, it is due to the different power of gravity on the the earth and moon.
Which requires more fuel -- a rocket going from the Earth to the Moon or a rocket coming from the Moon to Earth?
the moon because it has only one sixth of the gravitational pull that Earth does
How strong is the Earth's gravity compared to the moon?
you can go places better because it don't have much gravity
How much gravity is there on the moon compared to the earth?
About a 1/6 of earth gravity. 1.63 m/s^2 in gravitational acceleration
How does the Moon's gravity compare to the sun's?
At their respective surfaces, the acceleration of gravity, and therefore theweight of each unit mass, is 2.28 times as great on Mercury compared toits value on the moon. The moon's is 43.9% as great compared to Mercury's.Mercury . . . 3.697 m/s2 . . . 37.7% compared to EarthMoon . . . 1.623 m/s2 . . . 16.55% compared to Earth
