The forces of gravity between two objects fall off as the square of the distance between them.

If you were three times as far from the center of the Earth as you are now,
then the forces of gravity between you and the Earth would be
1 / (3^2) = 1/9 of what they are now.

Putting it simply, your weight would be 1/9 of what it is down here on the surface.

Why does the Moon's gravity not affect people?

Only the Earths gravity has a direct affect on humans, because the moon is 1/4 the size of Earth, so the moon's gravity is much less than the earth's gravity, 83.3% (or 5/6) less to be exact. Our bodie mass is way too small to be affected in any way by any planet in the solar system. The moon moves away at about an inch every three years, so it will not affect anybody anytime soon.
