The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon is about 1.625 m/s2, about 16.6% that on Earth's surface or 0.166 ɡ. Over the entire surface, the variation in gravitational acceleration is about 0.0253 m/s2 (1.6% of the acceleration due to gravity).

Answer:

Earth have more gravitation pull than the moon because the earth has more mass than the moon

Step-by-step explanation:

The moon is not as close as the Earth is to the Sun The Earth has more mass than the moon The distance between the Earth and the Moon gives Earth a stronger gravitational pull The Moon's mass is far too small to have a gravitational pull.

I hope this helped you ☾
