A.
1/4 th of Earth
B.
1/5 th of Earth
C.
1/6 th of Earth
AnswerD.
1/8 th of Earth
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
The Moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second. The Moon's surface gravity is weaker because it is far less massive than Earth. A body's surface gravity is proportional to its mass, but inversely proportional to the square of its radius.
