on the moon, if you jump, why dont you fall \down\ to the earth? there is no air on the moon; the moon has no gravity; the moon has more mass so it has more gravity; the earth is 9000 far away that the moon has more gravitational pull on you

on the moon, if you jump, why dont you fall \down\ to the earth? there is no air on the moon; the moon has no gravity; the moon has more mass so it has more gravity; the earth is 9000 far away that the moon has more gravitational pull on you

Answer

Brief Explanations:

Gravitational force depends on mass and distance. The moon's mass is much smaller than Earth's, but you are much closer to the moon's center of mass when on the moon. The gravitational pull of the moon on you is much stronger than Earth's pull at that distance, despite Earth's greater mass. Also, the moon has a very thin - almost non - existent atmosphere (no air resistance to affect the jump). The moon does have gravity, just weaker than Earth's.

Answer:

There is no air on the moon.
