With its smaller mass, the Moon exerts only about 1/6 the gravity as the Earth, so objects would weigh just one-sixth of their Earth weight on the lunar surface. This is why the astronauts were able to float up off the surface as they walked there, even in their heavy spacesuits.

∙ 13y agoYou weigh about 83.3% less on the moon than you do on earth. A 100 pound person on earth would weigh just under 17 pounds on the moon, as the moon only has 1/6th of earth's gravity.

Why the half moon is heavier than full moon?
The moon is the moon. How much of the illuminated portion we can see from Earth is completely irrelevant to its mass.
Why could an astronaut carry more massive equipment on the moon than on Earth?
The gravity on The Moon is much less than ours on Earth so they can carry heavier items.
What would you conclude if the rocks on the Moon were much heavier or much lighter than those on Earth?
The amount of gravity the moon has.
Is the moon and the earth the same weight?
no, the Earth is many times heavier
What happens when you take a rock from earth to the moon?
The earth becomes a litle lighter and the moon becomes a little heavier.
Why a person has a heavier mass on earth than on the moon?
He hasn't. The mass is the same, but the graviational pull from the Earth is stronger than that from the moon.
Why accelaration due to gravity on moon is less than accelaration due to gravity on earth?
Because the earth is much more heavier than the moon.
What is heavier when it is on the Moon compared with when it is on the Earth?
A trick question, because there is nothing that is ACTUALLY heavier on the Moon than on Earth, but because there is no atmosphere, nothing can "float" on the Moon. So a hot air balloon or any similar device that depends on buoyancy might be measured to have a lower weight on the Earth than on the Moon.
Why are object heavier on earth than on the moon?
The earth's gravity is about six times that of the gravity of the moon and weight is proportional to gravitational attraction.
Why the half moon is heavier than full moon?
The moon is the moon. How much of the illuminated portion we can see from Earth is completely irrelevant to its mass.
Why An object will weigh approximately 6 times HEAVIER on earth than it would on the moon?
Earth is a about 6 times more massive than the moon (Has more density per volume, since it's technically weightless in space) Gravity is proportional to how large a planet or moon is, so the object will be heavier on earth (a larger planet) than on the moon (a small body)
How does the weight of an object on the earth's surface vary with its weight on the moon?
An object will weigh approximately 6 times HEAVIER on earth than it would on the moon.
Why could an astronaut carry more massive equipment on the moon than on Earth?
The gravity on The Moon is much less than ours on Earth so they can carry heavier items.
What would you conclude if the rocks on the Moon were much heavier or much lighter than those on Earth?
The amount of gravity the moon has.
Is the moon heavier?
Heavier than what, the sun????
Is the moon and the earth the same weight?
no, the Earth is many times heavier
What happens when you take a rock from earth to the moon?
The earth becomes a litle lighter and the moon becomes a little heavier.
