How would you compare the gravity between Earth’s moon and Jupiter?

• The moon does not have gravity because it does not have an atmosphere.

• The moon and Jupiter both have gravity, however because Jupiter has a greater mass it also has a greater gravitational pull.

• The moon and Jupiter both have gravity, however because Jupiter has a greater volume it also has a greater gravitational pull.

• The moon has a gravitational pull because it has mass, but Jupiter does not have mass because it is only made of gases.
