Are you on the moon heaver of lighter than on the moon?
An object is lighter on the moon because the moon is smaller and thus lighter than the Earth
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!
Why are people lighter on the moon than on the earth?
the gravitational force of the earth is much stronger then on the moon. Also, a person is not "lighter". their mass is the same, it is the weight of the person. Weight is a unit of measurement. You are lighter on the moon than on earth because there is 1/6 less gravity.
How is the moon unlike the earth?
Well the easiest thing to say is that the moon is smaller and lighter than earth.
Why are you lighter on the moon then on earth?
Probably because there is no gravity

How much more do you weigh on the moon in ounces?
You would weigh about 1/6 as much on the moon as you weigh on earth if you were not wearing heavy equipment. I would weigh about 560 ounces on the moon.
Were the astronouts heavy on the moon?
Yes but not as heavy as they were on Earth.

Is your weight the same on earth as it is on the moon?
No. You are lighter on the moon than on earth, though your mass remains unchanged.

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 are astronauts lighter on the moon than on earth?
yes noob
Why is weight less on the moon?
The moon has less mass than the Earth, so it has less gravity. This is why you're lighter on the moon.
Why is the moon smaller than the sun?
As objects get smaller, the ratio of surface area (heat loss to space) to volume (heat retained) gets larger. It is easier for the Moon to lose heat to space. Next, the Moon has no atmosphere to act as a blanket to prevent heat loss to space. Finally, the Moon is formed of lighter materials than the Earth proper, perhaps lighter materials from Earth. This means Earth's core has more heavy elements, that appear to actually be radioactive, heating the Earth's core.
