GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -The Earth’s Moon has considerably less mass than the Earth itself. Not only is the Moon smaller than the Earth, but it is only about 60 percent as dense as Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -“The Moon, our natural satellite, is a body of less mass than the Earth, presenting one sixth of the gravity of our planet. … Since the Moon is about 1/49th the mass of Earth, it will have less gravity. “A baby, for example, who weighs about 70 newtons on Earth (weight unit), will weigh about 11 newtons on the Moon.”

Detailed explanation-3: -Summary • A planet must be found orbiting a star just like Earth orbits around the Sun. Stars have a greater mass than planets. The gravity of all this mass is what “locks” planets into their orbits and makes them go around it when they are created.
