So what is the moon, It is a star too? Just a cold star that doesn't emit light? Is it a magical hoax that is just a picture in the sky, its only 5 feet above my head didn't you know?!
Well, it's a theory.
It is the best explanation for the observed phenomenon. Which is that things with mass attract other things to it. This "force" or pull is called gravity.
There is gravity on the moon. It has its own gravity. It's not as strong because it has less mass. In fact, we have our own gravity. It's just tiny.
Just because you are inside earth's most thin atmosphere which extends 15-100 earth doesn't mean you have not left earth. If someone farts and another person smells it, does that mean they are now touching the farter? no. If you manage to touch a comet's gas tail does not mean you are now in or on the comet. And why does it matter? How thin would the atmosphere need to be for you to say we are outside of earth? some oxygen may escape and reach Jupiter, is Jupiter now inside the earth? Stop playing simantics.
You don't need a human to bounce around the moon to know there is gravity. A robot kicking dust, all the rocks that you can see are all evidence of gravity. With a telescope, you can see other planets have moons too. so those planets have a gravitational pull.
Umm, when you are traveling as fast as you are in orbit you are literally ‘falling’ - it’s not that there is no gravity. If you went to zero miles an hour (orbiters are traveling something like 12,000 mph - it’s centripetal force making it feel like there’s no gravity. The atmosphere is thin up 50 miles so you aren’t going to burn up.
Right, I like to think of it as throwing a baseball. the faster you throw the ball the larger the curvature of the ball and the farther it goes. If you can throw the ball fast enough, the curvature of that throw will match the curvature of the earth and now you have a satellite.
Gravity is real, there are no flat planets unless you count the rings of Saturn as a planet. just a broken one.

You have much to learn.
Well, it's a theory. It is the best explanation for the observed phenomenon. Which is that things with mass attract other things to it. This "force" or pull is called gravity.
yes, I agree that it is the best explanation for the observed phenomenon, however, that does not logically mean that every other theory is as based.

anything with mass has a gravitational pull. That's just the way it is.
Exactly. Even we have a pull, it's just that we don't have much mass so our pull is tiny.
