✈️✈️A hammer is a lot heavier than a feather on Earth, so it is slowed down a lot less. On themoon, or in any vacuum for that matter, there is nothing to slow them down, and they fall at the same speed.⚖⚖
OR
✈️✈️Because they were essentially in a vacuum, there was no air resistance and thefeather fell at the same rate as the hammer, as Galileo had concluded hundreds of years before - all objects released together fall at the same rate regardless of mass.⚖⚖

Answer:
it is because it has a higher surface area to weight ratio, thus is slowed more by drag (or air resistance). On the moon there is no air, and no drag, and a hammer and a feather will fall at the same speed. ... The earth's gravity pulls all objects down at the same rate(9.8 m/s 2), assuming there is no air resistance.
