 Curious About Astronomy: What happens to a bullet fired on the moon?
First, the moon bullet doesn't have to contend with air resistance--with so little friction, it can maintain its speed longer than the Earth bullet can (it's analogous to shooting a hockey puck across ice, which has very little friction, and shooting across sand, which has a lot of friction.
Assuming your bullet doesn't hit anything (a pretty safe bet on the moon, but don't try this on Earth!) and forgetting about air restistance, the time it takes for the bullet to fall to the ground depends on its initial velocity, the angle at which you shoot it, and the force of gravity.
Now G called the gravitational contstant, M is the mass of the moon, and r is the radius of the moon.
