How does the moon’s gravity compare to Earth’s?

The moon’s gravity is about one-sixth (1/6) as strong as Earth’s gravity. This weaker gravitational force is why objects on the moon weigh less than they do on Earth. For example, a person weighing 180 pounds on Earth would weigh about 30 pounds on the moon.
