Because both the Moon, and an object falling on earth are under the same gravitational field, why do they move differently? And how come?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Because an object on Earth is more in the atmosphere than the Moon. Gravitational pull is stronger the closer an object is to the core of Earth. Also, the Moon is just in the Earth's orbital gravity, which means it's a revolving type of gravity the Moon is stuck in.

That's just off of my head though and from some basic knowledge that I figured would be the reason, though I'm not sure if that's the actual reason. But, that's all I have. Haha.

they are both falling towards the earth arent they?  The moon is just at a speed and position that it falls towards the earth in a rather complete manner as opposed to going slower.
