SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, the weight of the object on Earth is and on the moon it is. 34 N . Gravitational force on the surface of the moon is only 16 as strong as gravitational force on the earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is the moon’s gravity? The gravity of the moon is 1/6 of Earth. So if you stepped on a scale on the moon, you could subtract 83.5%. For example, that means 100 kg in weight would be 16.5 kg on the moon.

Detailed explanation-3: -The moon’s gravitation force is determined by the mass and the size of the moon. Since the moon has significantly less mass than the Earth, it will not pull objects toward itself at the strength that Earth will. This means that if you went to the moon you would weigh less, even though your mass stays the same!

Detailed explanation-4: -The moon’s mass is 7.35 x 1022 kg, about 1.2% of Earth’s mass. Put another way, Earth weighs 81 times more than the moon.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Moon has a weaker gravitational attraction than Earth. In fact, the Moon’s gravity is only 1/6 of Earth’s gravity, so you would weigh less on the Moon. Find out how much you would weigh on the Moon, Pluto and other planets.
