Answer:
Because the Earth has so much gravity, it can hold water, land, and life in it's atmosphere.
(Not sure what beaker you are talking about, so sorry) But I don't think the moon's gravity would have an effect on a beaker of water because the Earth's gravity is much more than the moon's.
I think you would be able to feel a little bit of Earth's gravity on the moon because the Earth's gravity pulled the moon into orbit, therefore, gravity on Earth my have some effect on the moon.
hope this helps!
