The magnitude of g on the moon's surface is about 1/6 of the value of g on Earth's surface. Can you infer from this relationship that the moon's mass is 1/6 of Earth's mass? Why or why not?

Answer:
Answer 1: The value of the gravitational acceleration on the surface of a planet of radius R and mass M is g = GM/R2. So the gravity on the moon is 1/6th that of Earth because the moon is far less massive than the Earth and has a different radius(R) as well.10-Sep-2004
