The mass of moon is about 0.012 times that of earth and its diameter is about 0.25 times that of earth. The value of G on the moon will be:
विकल्प
less than that on the earth
more than that on the earth
same as that on the earth
about one-sixth of that on the earth
उत्तर
Same as that of the earth
G is universal gravitational constant. So, it remains constant everywhere.
