I have a question?

Question

If your on the moon and you drop a feather and a hammer at the same time its supposed land at the same time but how there is no gravity on the moon....

Answer 1

As others have stated before me, yes, there IS gravity on the moon, and there is NO air resistance.
The feather and hammer reached the lunar soil at the same time.

Check out this link, which will show commander David Scott performing that very experiment:

I hope this helps!
Clear Skies!

Answer 2

There is gravity on the moon. It is about 1/6 that of the earth. There is no air on the moon, therefore there is no air resistance to cause the feather to drift. Both should fall at the same rate

Answer 3

Why do so many people seem to think there is no gravity on the Moon? It's 1/6th Earth's gravity, and causes tides here on Earth. I thought that was common knowledge.

Answer 4

Yes, there is gravity on the moon. There is gravity associated with any massive object, including you and me. Our gravity is tiny compared to that of planets and stars, but it is not zero. On the moon, gravity is about one sixth what it is on Earth. If you weigh 120 lbs. on Earth, on the moon you would weigh about 20 lbs., not counting the weight of your spacesuit and life support system.

Answer 5

there is slight gravity on the moon and gravity is consistant,, a feather would fall at the same speed as a hammer just the same as a hammer would fall at the same speed of a very large rock

Answer 6

exactly it wouldn't land, it would hit and bounce off, or not hit at all

Answer 8

good question
