think!
when you jump do you fall to earth or the moon
there is a place in space where you would be in perfect balance
but any motion toward on or the other ( and everything is moving) you would acceleerate toward the stronger gravity
what scienc grade are you. Q is very simple

Here's the formula for gravitational force:
F=GMm/R^2
G is the gravitational constant 6.67x10^-11
M is the mass of the body 1 (the Earth, the Moon, etc)
m is the mass of body 2 (you)
R is the distance between the two bodies.
For objects on the surface of the Earth, you can use the following quick and easy approximation:
F=m*a
where m is your mass, and a is 9.81 m/s^2,
Answers in both cases are in Newtons. When you are standing on Earth, the Moon is going to have a much larger R value and a notably smaller M value compared to the Earth. Thus, the Earth's gravity will have vastly more pull on you. Note that since R is squared, it has a bigger influence than M, so if you were to go to the Moon, the large value of R between you and the Earth would negate the influence of its greater mass, and the Moon would be pulling on you a lot more than the Earth.

gravity (the force pulling on you) depends primarily on two things: mass of object (in this case the mass of the Earth and the mass of the moon) and your proximity to the object.
The Earth is much bigger than the money, so it exerts more force. You're also closer to the Earth, so you feel the gravity more. That's why gravity pulls you down to the Earth, rather than pulling you up towards the moon.

That depends on your location. If you were standing on the Moon, the Moon would be exerting a greater force on you. If you were standing on the Earth, then Earth would be exerting a greater force on you. However, the force the Moon exerts on you when you're standing on the Moon is only about one sixth the force the Earth exerts on you when you're standing on the Earth.

Earth's gravity is much stronger. Give me a minute I will perform a scientific experiment. I will jump up in the air and note what are the results.... Confirmed! The Earth's gravity is stronger.
-
Earth is stronger because the gravitational pull is stronger than the moon. Sorry if i had mispelt some words.
-
earth because it has a bigger mass and therefore bigger gravitational pull
-
The Earth pulls on you more and thats why you weigh less on the moon, becuase there is less gravity
-
Earth has more effect on you because it is closer and larger.

Earth pulling on you :)
