What is the gravity on earth's moon?

The mass of the moon is smaller than the mass of the earth.

That's why the gravity is lower on the moon.

Most of the moons in the Solar System are very small, but there are some large, planet-like moons. Our moon is also part of that.

The mass of the Moon is 1/81 that of the Earth.

The gravity of Mars is 3,711 m/s² and it has 2 moons.

The gravity of Jupiter is 24,79 m/s² and it has 79 moons.

The gravity of Neptune is 11,15 m/s² and has 14 moons.

Gravity is a force, measured in newton. It is calculated by multiplying the GRAVITATIONAL ACCELERATION, unit m/s², by the mass (unit kilogram) of the object attracted by the earth, moon etc.

earlepg, and sometimes "majority vote" doesn't even get 50% ... those are toughies 🤔😬

Lawanta , I'm glad that the majority steered you right. I sometimes battle with myself over which to trust in situations where three or all four options could be correct.

earlepg, I used a majority vote and got it right 😉 those answer choices were all beyond my knowledge base 😄

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the 53.4% that got the correct answer followed the same proceedure that I did, that is choosing the lowest figure. Of course using that method should only be used judicially since, to be differentiated from a simple "wild --- guess", it would need to be predicated upon at least a modicum of scientific knowledge.
