if there's no gravity on earth, why don't austronauts float away when they're standing on the moon?

1. There IS gravity on the Earth.

2. There is gravity on the Moon.

3. Gravity is a basic property of matter, ALL matter.

4. The six Apollo Moon landings are among the best documented events in human history: thousands of pictures, hours of video, nearly half a ton of Moon rocks, and millions of eye witnesses, including myself. There is not a single scientist in the world who doubts that they took place. To deny them is to discredit the magnificent achievement of the team which went to the Moon, and to reveal abysmal scientific ignorance.

The proofs of the Moon landings have been documented in detail on web sites like these:

If further proof is needed, NASA recently released images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter showing 5 of the 6 Apollo landers, still on the surface of the Moon:

5. I'm astounded that someone who doesn't understand basic physics dares to question one of the greatest accomplishments in the history of mankind.

GOD Created the Heavens and the Earth (see Genesis a million:a million). right here's a question on your question, Deary. If the moon broke off of the earth and floated away to that is modern-day region in area; then precisely the place is the evidence, right here on earth, that reflects the element, at which the moon replaced into initially related to the earth??! Sorry, yet there is not any such evidence. there is not any crater on GOD's earth great adequate to handle the size of the moon. after all; the moon is gigantic adequate to reason eclipses usually; besides the fact that if those eclipses are lunar or photograph voltaic.

There is gravity on the Earth, and gravity on the Moon. Try feeding some actual information into your head instead of lies about Apollo's 6 successful lunar landings.

There is a fatal flaw in your logic. Both the earth and moon have gravity. The gravity of the moon is strong enough to change the tides on earth. And once you are on the moon you are far way enough from earth that the moons gravity keeps you from floating away.

Why wouldn't there be gravity on the moon? Gravity is associated with any significant mass. It's not some magical property which ceases to exist when you get above a certain altitude.

You can calculate the force of gravity with the following formula:

a=GM/r^2

a=acceleration due to gravity

G=Gravitational Constant (6.67x10^-11)

M=mass of planet/moon/you/whatever the attracting body is (in kg)

r=radius/distance between the centre of mass of the two bodies (in meters)

Feel free to plug in lunar mass/radius and see if you get a zero value.

Hint: it's about 1/6 that of Earth gravity at the surface.

But there IS gravity on Earth, *and* on the Moon. There is also gravity in outer space. In fact, the space station gets about 90% of the pull we feel here on the ground. But the ISS travels fast enough to the side that it balances gravity almost exactly--that's why you feel weightless in orbit. It's not that there isn't gravity up there, it's that the centripital force (pull of gravity) is balanced by centrifugal force (moving really fast sideways).

Ever been on one of those free-fall rides at an amusement park, or a really steep drop on a roller coaster or something? You feel weightless for a few moments, right? There still IS gravity, you just don't feel it right then because your body's not resisting it. Same thing with being in orbit.

You mean no gravity on the moon? But there is. It's about 1/6th that of Earth's gravity, but it's there. The main reasons most people have for doubting the moon landings are based on ignorance of facts, and lack of knowledge. There is not a single shred of evidence the conspiracy theorists have that cannot be easily explained away using well-known scientific principals.

Because there is gravity on the Earth, the Moon and throughout the universe.

Um... I think you meant 'the moon..' And, there *is* gravity on the moon; it's about 1/6 that of Earth. That's why you see the astronauts hopping around up there - it's an easier way to move than walking.

Basically, the more the mass the stronger the gravity. The moons mass is less then ours so that means its gravity is less.

Every single thing with a mass has gravity, yes even you have gravity!
