yes there is gravity on the moon. perhaps the lunar module is heavy enough to stay on the surface without floating... or perhaps going to the moon was just a hoax. If the moon has no atmosphere why can we see the flag of America waving in the air in footages?

Yes, it has gravity. Since the moon is so much smaller than the Earth, its gravity is about 1/6th that of the Earth. That's why astronauts can jump higher on the moon, and things fall to the surface at a slower rate.

the moons gravity is approximately 1/8th of the earths gravity. So, if you weighed 80 kilos on earth you would be 10 kilos on the moon. The lunal module still had weight therefore did not fly off into space.

Yes, every body and large object has enough gravity to infuence objects enough to get them to stay fixed to the ground.
Big objects have more gravity then smaller ones as a rule.
Earths gravity is 6 times that of the moon and about 1/3rd of that of Jupiter.
Just imagine the problems you would have with your blood pressure if you stood up too fast on Jupiter!

s. moon has gravity. but its jus 1/6 of tat in the earth. so the astronouts has to wear a heavy suits and shoes to walk on the moon surface

Mr. Uselessadvise has given you a very useful advice that every mass has gravity including you and all.
The gravitational attraction is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

The moon is made of Velcro, and the lunar module has velcro pads on its little footies ;)

Dooh! Of course the moon exerts a gravitational pull: ever heard of the tides?
