Gravity affects all objects with mass. Since the moon has mass, it will have a gravitational field, hence a person will experience gravity on the moon.
g = GM/r^2
Since moon has a value for M (its mass), G is a constant and has a radius (its roughly a sphere) it has a gravitational field (g).

yes, everything with mass has gravity. you have a gravitational pull. so do i, so does the neighbors cat.
do you want to know why there are tides in our oceans and lake? it is all because of the moon's gravity. the videos on the moon have them jump, if the moon didnt have gravity thry would have kept on going up at the same speed as the jumped off at. the moon's gravity is less than the Earth's obviously because the Earth has more mass. the sun has more gravity than the Earth, or anything in our solar system for that matter.

If there was no gravity, how would the astronauts have landed on the moon and stayed there without having something constantly pushing them down toward the surface? If there were no gravity on the moon when the astronauts walked or jumped around, they would have just floated off into space.
Gravity on the moon is about one-sixth of the gravity on the Earth.

Yes, gravity is present on the Moon. Earth's tides? Moon's gravity. What keeps lunar satellites in orbit? Moon's gravity. Seen the Apollo video where dust is kicked up and falls back? Moon's gravity. What allows them to land on the Moon in the first place and stay there? Moon's gravity.

Yes, but the gravity on the Moon is less than that on Earth. On the moon, you would weigh about 1/6th of what you weigh on Earth.
In fact, every object with mass has gravity. You have gravity, I have gravity, a tennis ball has gravity... but the force is so small that your senses cannot detect it. Basically, the amount of gravity an object has is directly related to the density of its mass. Because the moon is smaller and less dense than the Earth, its force of gravity is less.

Yes, gravity does exist on the moon.
It's 1/6th of the gravity on the Earth.
Example to prove there is,
High and low tides...
Bouncing on the moon (if there was no gravity, you'll only jump once because you'll be floating into space)...

No there isnt' any gravity on the moon. As a matter of fact there were also no moon landings, the jews during WWII all just got up and disappeared, the american revolution was the result of the manipulations of a global secret society that call themselves the illuminati, and dinosaurs still roam the earth among us...they just hide while we are looking...quick check under the couch....

Yes, gravity is present wherever there is mass. The moons gravity is one sixth that of earth.

Look at it's shape. It is spherical. Gravity warps space in the vicinity of mass. The moon's mass has warped the space that it inhabits. Since the gravitational warping emanates outward from the moon's center in all directions equally, the resulting shape is a sphere.

Gravity on the moon is 1/6th that of Earth. All objects with mass have gravity....the moon wouldn't orbit the earth if it didn't.
