everything in the universe attracts each other, the heavier and closer two things are, the more they attract each other, except this effect is much to small to be felt on everyday objects, and only becomes apparent on very large objects such as the moon and the earth. but the moon is much lighter than the earth, and has a smaller radius (the distance between the centre of the earth, and the object, making each planet have a different acceleration due to gravity, making acceleration different as objects are pulled to the earth/moon at different speeds.

CoachAcceleration due to gravity is lower on the Moon compared to Earth because the Moon has less mass and a smaller radius, resulting in weaker gravitational pull. This weaker gravitational force means objects experience less acceleration due to gravity on the Moon compared to Earth.

Is acceleration the same in moon and in earth?
No, acceleration on the Moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth due to the Moon's lower gravity. This means that objects on the Moon accelerate more slowly compared to Earth.
How does the sun and moon differ in the way people see them?
It is the distance between the earth and moon.
How are falling apples and the moon orbit of the moon alike?
They are both falling as a constant acceleration towards the earth
What is mass of package on the moon in kg if package weighs 108N on earth?
To find the mass of the package on the moon, you can use the equation: weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6th that of Earth's. So, if the package weighs 108N on Earth, its mass on the moon would be about 18 kg.
Why is acceleration due to gravity less on moon?
Acceleration due to gravity is less on the Moon compared to Earth because the Moon has less mass than Earth. The force of gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the celestial body, so a smaller mass like the Moon results in weaker gravity. This causes objects to fall more slowly on the Moon than on Earth.
