The Earth.
Reason ; The gravitational acceleration on Earth is greater than the gravitational acceleration on the Moon.
Be the person on the Earth or the Moon, they still have the same amount of matter.
However, when that mass is multiplied to the gravitational acceleration, we find that the weight on Earth is greater than the weight on the Moon.
If you see film of astronauts on the Moon they appear to bounce or float around; they are still the same size and shape. This is because they weigh less due to less gravitational acceleration on the Moon.

∙ 11y agoThe pleasure of being there and actually stepping on a bathroom scale has so far
eluded me. But knowing what I do on the general topic of gravity, I know how to
calculate it.
The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.623m/s2 , compared to 9.807m/s2 on
Earth. Cutting directly to the chase without passing GO, that means that my weight
on the moon will be 1.623/9.807 = 0.1655 what it is on Earth, or 31.94 pounds. (rounded)

∙ 13y agoThe mass of the object is the same either way. However, "weight" is a function of the attractive force of gravity, and the math for gravity counts both the mass of the object and the mass of the Moon - or the Earth.
Since the Earth is far more massive than the Moon, the "weight" of any object is much less on the Moon.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoNo. Because the Moon's mass is so much less, you would weigh about one-sixth as much there as you do here.
Which is a good thing, because the spacesuits that the astronauts wear almost double their weight on the Moon.

∙ 13y agoIf you were on the moon, the weight that was measured when you were on earth
wouldn't change. But if you brought a bathroom scale to the moon with you and
stepped on it while you were there, the number it displayed there would be only
about 16 percent of your earthly weight.

∙ 13y agoAn astronaut on the moon will weigh one 1/6 of an astronaut on Earth. This is because the moon has much less gravity and mass than the Earth. For example, an astronaut weighing 150 lbs on earth will only weigh 25 lbs on the moon.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoFalse. Your mass is the same either place, but because the Moon is far less massive itself, the force of gravity is about one-sixth as much on the Moon as it would be on Earth.
Of course, when you add in the mass and bulk of your space suit, you're only about one-HALF as heavy on the Moon.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoWeights on the moon's surface are about 1/6th the weight of the same object on the earth's surface.
An object that weighs 100 pounds here would weigh about 16 and 2/3rds pounds on the moon.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYour weight on earth is about 6.13 times as much as your weight on the moon.
Your weight on the moon is about 0.16 of your weight on earth.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoYour weight is less on the moon than it is on the Earth, but your mass is still the same. Teehee. I was here! >:D

Would you have the same weight on earth as on the moon?
no. Your weight would be 1/6 what it is on earth because the moon has 1/6 the gravity
Would you mass be less greater or the same on the moon?
Your mass is an invariant property of the matter from which you are made, it would therefore remain the same on the Moon or anywhere else in the Universe. However, your weight would be less on the Moon than on Earth because the gravity field of the Moon is less than that of Earth and your weight is the result of how hard gravity attracts your mass.
Why does earth exerts a greater force than the moon?
There are two reasons: The Earth is more massive than the Moon, and the Earth is closer to you than the Moon. If you were standing on the Moon, then the force of gravity due to the Moon would be greater because you are closer to the Moon.
Moon gravity vs earths gravity?
Moon gravity is less because the atmosphere and mass and the earths gravity is greater than the moon if you weight yourself in the earth and then you weighted yourself in the moon you would weight less in the moon you could actually float in the moon because of its atmosphere and mass
Why would a rock's mass and weight be affected on the moon?
A rock's mass is not affected by the moon. It's weight is a function of mass and gravity. So, the same rock would weigh more on Earth than on the Moon, as the Earth's gravity is greater. In order to effectively confuse the issue, I should point out that gravity is also a function of mass...
Would you have the same weight on earth as on the moon?
no. Your weight would be 1/6 what it is on earth because the moon has 1/6 the gravity
Why would your weight be greater on the moon then the earth?
The main reason is the fact that your weight is proportional to the product of your mass multiplied by the mass of whatever large body you're standing on, and the earth's mass is roughly 80 times as much as the moon's mass..
Would you mass be less greater or the same on the moon?
Your mass is an invariant property of the matter from which you are made, it would therefore remain the same on the Moon or anywhere else in the Universe. However, your weight would be less on the Moon than on Earth because the gravity field of the Moon is less than that of Earth and your weight is the result of how hard gravity attracts your mass.
What age and weight would you be if you were on the moon?
You would be the same age if you were on the moon. Your weight would be approximately 1/7 of your weight here on Earth.
Why does earth exerts a greater force than the moon?
There are two reasons: The Earth is more massive than the Moon, and the Earth is closer to you than the Moon. If you were standing on the Moon, then the force of gravity due to the Moon would be greater because you are closer to the Moon.
If you weight sixty pounds on Earth what would you weight on the Moon?
You weigh 10 pounds on the Moon.
Moon gravity vs earths gravity?
Moon gravity is less because the atmosphere and mass and the earths gravity is greater than the moon if you weight yourself in the earth and then you weighted yourself in the moon you would weight less in the moon you could actually float in the moon because of its atmosphere and mass
Why would a rock's mass and weight be affected on the moon?
A rock's mass is not affected by the moon. It's weight is a function of mass and gravity. So, the same rock would weigh more on Earth than on the Moon, as the Earth's gravity is greater. In order to effectively confuse the issue, I should point out that gravity is also a function of mass...
How would a rock's weight on the Moon or the Sun compare to its weight on Earth?
It would weigh less on the Moon and more on the Sun.
How would a rocks weight on the moon or the sun compare to its weight on earth?
It would weigh less on the Moon and more on the Sun.
If The force of gravity on the moon is approximately one sixth that of the earth The direct variation formula for weight on the earth compared to weight on the moon would be?
The force of gravity on the moon is approximately one sixth that of the earth. The direct variation formula for weight on the earth compared to weight on the moon would be weight on earth divided by 6 is equals to weight on the moon.
If you weighed 36 pounds on the moon how much would you weigh on the earth?
Your weight on the Moon would only be 33 pounds. Why is your weight on the Moon so much less than your weight on the Earth? It's because of the lower gravity on the Moon. Objects on the surface of the Moon experience only 16.5% of the gravity they would experience on Earth.
