Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A rocket going from Earth to the Moon would require more fuel because it has to overcome Earth's gravitational pull, which is much stronger than the Moon's. This requires more energy to escape the Earth's atmosphere and gravitational pull. Once the rocket is on its way and has left Earth's gravity well, it would encounter much less resistance and require less fuel to continue to the Moon.
