Given that, A basesball is dropped from 100 meters above the surface of the earth. If the same baseball was dropped from 100 meters above the surface of the moon, it will take more time to hit the ground as compare to the ball dropped on earth. This is moon's gravity is one-sixth of that of earth. Object falling on earth possess more force of attraction. So it will reach the earth in lesser time. At moon the force of attraction is low compare to that of earth. Object will take more time to reach the surface.
