The difference in mass causes the moon to exert a weaker gravitational force on objects compared to the Earth.
The Earth’s larger mass compared to the Moon’s results in a stronger gravitational force. This means Earth exerts a much greater pull on objects than the Moon, influencing everything from tides to the ability to retain an atmosphere.
