ANSWER-

Yes, the moon has gravity. This is evidenced by the fact that it not only attracts objects on its surface, but it also influences the tides of the Earth's oceans. The moon's gravitational pull creates the distinctive tidal bulges that cause the daily rise and fall of the ocean tides. This interaction between the moon's gravity and the Earth's oceans is evidence of the moon's gravitational field. Additionally, space missions to the moon have shown that objects and astronauts on the moon's surface are subject to its gravitational pull.

Answer:

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.
