25 Incredibly Dumb Ways People Answered Serious Questions
The gravity of the moon is one-sixth that of Earth’s gravity. So, if you weigh 200 pounds on Earth, you’ll weigh a little over 30 pounds up there. Even if you didn’t know exactly how much gravity was up on the moon, the moon very obviously does have gravity. Otherwise, all those dudes from NASA couldn’t have driven their space cars or played space golf on the lunar surface.
However, when one Redditor was in college, a fellow PhD candidate remarked that the moon “has no gravity,” which is pretty dumb for someone who, presumably, went to some sort of school before college and desires to be some sort of doctor. It just feels like something any doctor should know, except maybe dentists.
