Question

Why is the weight of an object on the moon
$\frac{1}{6} \small \: th$
it's weight on the earth?
answer releated to 9th class
ch Gravitation​

Answer 1

Answer:

As a result, the gravitational attraction on the moon is about one-sixth when compared to earth. The moon's gravitation force is determined by the mass and the size of the moon. Hence, the weight of an object on the moon is 1/6th its weight on the earth.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The mass of the moon is 1/100 times and its radius 1/4 times that of earth. As a result, the gravitational attraction on the moon is about one-sixth when compared to earth. The moon’s gravitation force is determined by the mass and the size of the moon. Hence, the weight of an object on the moon is 1/6th its weight on the earth. The moon is far less massive than the Earth and has a different radius(R) as well.
