The gravitational force of the Moon is significantly weaker than that of the Earth due to its smaller mass. The Moon's gravitational acceleration is approximately \\(1.625 \\, \\text\{m/s\}^2\\), which is about one-sixth that of Earth's gravitational acceleration (approximately \\(9.81 \\, \\text\{m/s\}^2\\)). This difference in gravitational pull is why objects on the Moon weigh much less than they do on Earth.
