KIDS TRIVIA

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. Thus, the gravitational attraction on the Moon is much less than it is here on Earth, and a person weighs less on the Moon.

Detailed explanation-2: -The gravitational field moves with the Moon and exerts an attractive force on anything that wanders into the field. However, the field on the Moon is much weaker than the field on Earth. A 180-pound person on Earth would weigh only 30 pounds on the Moon because of the Moon’s weaker gravity.
