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.
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.
It is the distance between the earth and moon.
They are both falling as a constant acceleration towards the 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.
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.

Yes. The moon is continuously 'falling' around the Earth, and the acceleration is due to the gravitic attraction between them. This is a different acceleration than the "go faster and faster" kind.
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
The acceleration of gravity on the moon is about 1/6th the acceleration of gravity on earth. Any mass on the earth's surface feels about 6 times the downward force that it would feel on the surface of the moon.
Acceleration due to gravity refers to the rate at which an object accelerates towards the Earth when only gravity is acting upon it. This acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 near the surface of the Earth and is denoted by the symbol "g".

No. The rate of acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is 1.6249 m/s2 which is 16.7% of that on Earth. Things on the Moon weigh 16.7% of what they would on Earth.

If you are on or near the moon, yes. But the acceleration due to the moon's gravity is smaller than that on earth.
