Weight is a function of gravity. As a person moves farther away from a source of gravity, such as the earth or moon, the amount of gravitational force they experience dwindles, until it is negligible. While weight is a local property, the person's mass is constant. In other words, while the person is technically "weightless" applying force to create motion will vary based on how "massive" a person is.

They don't. The moon has gravity but not as much as earth so they feel that they have less weight. In outer space a person would feel weightless because no gravity that they could notice is acting upon them.
