Local Gravity on the Moon
Question by Guest | Last update on 2024-06-09 | Created on 2018-03-23
Everybody knows since the sixth grade that the mean local gravity (gravitational acceleration) on earth is 9.81 m/s² (at the equator it is slightly smaller, at the poles of the earth a bit larger).
But now I would like to calculate the weight of an object whose mass I know on the moon. Does anyone know the location factor that can be used for the moon?

The local gravity respectively location factor on the surface of the moon is 1.625 m/s². This makes the same object about six times lighter on the Moon than on the Earth.
How you can calculate the local gravity of the moon you can find here and the local gravities of other planets and moons here.

The object remains the same weight. Only the force required to lift this object becomes about six times lighter than on Earth.
