Answer:
The Moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second per second. The Moon'ssurface gravity is weaker because it is far less massive than Earth. A body's surface gravity is proportional to its mass, but inversely proportional to the square of its radius.

Answer:
The Moon's mass is about 1.2% of the Earth's mass (1/80th), so the Moon's gravity is much less than the Earth's gravity: 83.3% (or 5/6) less to be exact.
