Expert Answer
Surface gravity is determined by mass and radius. The moon is 0.01230 times the Earth's mass and 0.2725 times the Earth's radius. Since gravity is proportional to mass divided by distance squared, the ratio of the Moon's surface gravity to that of the Earth is,
0.01230 / 0.2725^2 = 0.1656
or approximately 1/6th.
0.01230 / 0.2725^2 = 0.1656
or approximately 1/6th.
Since gravity is inversely proportional to the distance from the center of the object to the center of the earth. Therefore, as we increase height, gravity of the Earth will decrease.
