Answer:
Because the Earth has so much gravity, it can hold water, land, and life in it's atmosphere.
(Not sure what beaker you are talking about, so sorry) But I don't think the moon's gravity would have an effect on a beaker of water because the Earth's gravity is much more than the moon's.
I think you would be able to feel a little bit of Earth's gravity on the moon because the Earth's gravity pulled the moon into orbit, therefore, gravity on Earth my have some effect on the moon.
