Question:-

Why is the moon’s force of gravity less than that of the earth?

Answer:-

Since the moon has a smaller mass than the earth, the moon has less gravity than the earth. Gravity is related to mass.

Larger mass = larger gravity

Smaller mass = lesser gravity

Moon has small mass, therefore less gravity.
