The Moon's mass is about 1/80th (1.2%) of the Earth's mass, so the Moon's gravity is much less than the Earth's gravity; specifically, the Moon's gravity is 1/6th (16.7%) of the Earth's gravity. Earth’s gravity is 9.807 m/s², compared to the moon’s gravity of 1.62 m/s² or just 17 percent of Earth’s gravity. ADVERTISEMENT Spanning hundreds of years in human history, people have always looked up at the stars with a fascination for what is beyond our Earth. The moon's mass is about 1.2% the mass of the Earth which makes the gravity on the moon … Earth’s gravitational force is stronger than the moon because of the presence of more massive objects in earth; on the flip side, the moon’s gravity is weaker than the earth due to smaller in size as compared to the earth. Or, stated another way, the Moon's gravity is 5/6 (83.3%) LESS than the Earth's. Comparison Chart Earth gravity is denoted by g; conversely, moon gravity is denoted by gm.

Gravity is experienced on the moon but since the moon is much smaller and has less mass than the Earth, the gravitational pull on the surface is lower compared to that on the surface of Earth.
