Because your weight depends on the mass of whatever other body is near you,
and your distance from it.
The moon has much less mass than the earth has, so the force between you
and the moon when you're on it is much less than the force between you and
the earth when you're on it.

What are the lighter patches on the moon called?
The lighter coloured regions of the Moon are called highlands or less commonly as terrae.
You are you lighter on the moon or heavier?
Since the moon's mass (the amount of matter it contains) is smaller than earth's, the moon has a weaker gravity pull, only one-sixth the pull of earth. This means that everything is six times lighter on the moon than it is on earth. A person weighing 120 pounds on earth would weigh only 20 pounds on the moon. Because man is light enough to float on the moon, heavy weights have to be put into astronauts' moon-walking boots!
Are comets heavier or lighter than the moon?
I am pretty sure that comets are lighter than moons but it depends on the comet

What is the name of the lighter area of the moon?
The lighter areas of the Moon are called "highlands."

The highlands are more heavily cratered and generally represent the Moon's oldest surface.
