Yes, because if you are 90 pounds on earth you would be 15 pounds on the moon. This is because weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and the force of gravity depends on the mass of the object. The force of gravity on the earth is six times greater than that of the moon, or, the force of gravity on the moon is 1/6 that of the earth.

On earth, a person's weight would vary slightly between sea level and the top of a mountain. This is because the force of gravity is stronger the closer an object is to the center of the earth (or moon, or planet).
