Why is a persons weight different on earth than on the moon?
The gravity is less on the Moon, because the Moon is smaller than earth; it has less mass, and therefore "sucks" less than the earth. Weight is gravity times mass, you have the same mass on Earth and on the Moon (and in space), but weigh less on the moon.
Why is the weight on earth different than the weight on the moon?
-- Your weight depends on the mass of the other mass to which you are gravitationallyattracted, and also on your distance from its center.-- The mass of the moon is much less than the mass of the Earth.-- The moon's surface is much closer to its center than the Earth's surface is to its center.
Why is the weight of an object different on earth than on the moon?
Gravity on the moon is one-sixth of that on Earth, so you will exert less force on the moon.
Why is weight of objects different on the moon than on the earth?
Gravity on the moon is one-sixth of that on Earth, so you will exert less force on the moon.
Why is the weight of an object different on earth and the moon even though the objects mass is the same in both places?
Mass is an intrinsic property of matter, it does not vary. Weight however is variable, it is a measure of the pull of gravity on a mass. As the Moon's gravity is less than that of the Earth, a mass will weigh less on the Moon than it does on the Earth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because the mass of the moon is different from the earth's. Also their radii is different. (Note : weight = gravity x mass and gravity = m1 x m2/(r x r)
Why does object have a different weight on the moon than it does on earth?
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
Why does an object have different weight on the moon than it does on earth?

Is the weight of a rock different in the moon than the earth?
YES!

Why your body weight different when on the moon?
Because in the moon it's gravity dosen't pull as hard than earth
Do you weight more on the moon then you do on earth?
No; you weigh more on the Earth than you do on the moon.
How much less do you weight on the Moon than you do on Earth?
On the Moon one weighs one-sixth the weight on Earth.
Is your weight on the moon the same as your weight on earth?
Your weight is less on the moon than it is on the Earth, but your mass is still the same. Teehee. I was here! >:D
Why does a person weight less on the moon than on earth?
Gravity's pull is weaker on the moon. 1/7 the weight you are on earth.
