What happens on the moon when...?

FIRST, answer the poll questions, THEN learn about the answers to these questions.

I have to say.......DUH. XD I don't have to think about it every day, but I still remember. I learned this stuff in the third grade.

All celestial bodies have gravity. From Red Super Giants to Dwarf planetoids.

EVERYTHING has gravity.

EVERYTHING has gravity.

true:) Man, my grades would be great if we had tests like this...

[Teto 2609]

This was easy. It's really common sense. :/

DUH! they had heavy boots, true the moon has gravity just not strong enough to allow you to stand with normal human weight

and because that is true a pen couldn't fall either, it would just float in mid air.

The gravity on the moon is very small, but in no way insignificant.

If the gravity couldn't hold you, it sure as hell couldn't hold the heavy boots. They'd have to have mass close to a large meteor.

And there's no air on the moon, so it can't float in midair.

Plus, it would fall to the ground anyway.

I lost faith in humanity.

Gravity on the moon is about one sixth the strength of that on Earth. Take something's weight, divide it by six. That's its weight on the moon. Things still fall. :[

All matter has gravity. Even your eyelash exerts a gravitational force... though the amount is extremely tiny and pretty insignificant.

Why do things have gravity? How does something not touching in any way 'pull' on something else? Good questions...

Oh mister super colliding super collider, how many Higgs Bosons does it take to get to the center of an atoms smallest components?
