Eli5 How does terminal velocity work in lower gravity environments?

Question

I’m having some trouble wrapping my head around this concept. How does falling/reaching terminal velocity change depending on the force of gravity and atmosphere/drag. Example. Falling from the cliff on the Moon vs Earth or Mars vs. Earth.

Answer 1

Less gravity – get to terminal velocity slower. Velocity will be lower also because force is lower.

Less drag (less air) – higher terminal velocity due to hitting fewer air molecules
