less
no
equal
more

Gravity is related to mass (Newton's law of gravitation: $F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$, where $G$ is the gravitational constant, $m_1,m_2$ are masses, and $r$ is distance). A less massive object (the Moon, compared to Earth) exerts less gravitational force. So the Moon has less gravity than Earth. The correct option (assuming the first option is "less") is the one with "less".
