Gravitation of the Moon
text:
- The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon is approximately 1.625 m/s, about 16.6% that on Earth's surface or 0.166 ɡ. Over the entire surface, the variation in gravitational acceleration is about 0.0253 m/s. Because weight is directly dependent upon gravitational acceleration, things on the Moon will weigh only 16.6% of what they weigh on the Earth. The weight of the object on moon is the force with which the moon attracts the object the mass of the moon is less than that of
