If I remember correctly, Newton did some experiments in which he determined that the attraction between two bodies can be defined as
F=G(M1*M2)/r*r
As the mass of the moon is approx 1/6 of that of the earth, the resulting force will be approx 1/6 that of the earth

The Gravitational force of the Moon is 0.16 to that of the Earth which is 1.0

I don't know where people are getting their figures!
The mass of the moon is *actually* about 0.012 times (1/83) that of the Earth. Its gravity is calculated accordingly.

It doesn't have any set accelerationi. The acceleration gets lower as you get farther away from it, as it does for all objects. However the surface gravity is approximately one sixth that of Earth's, or around 1.6 m/s^2.
