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.

Why do objects weigh less at the equator than at the moon?

Yes they do because the gravity is less the moon. But on earth so you are likely to have a smaller mass on the moon then on earth. But in a way you feel lighter you are still the same weight on earth then on the moon


Why are we lighter on the moon?

The moon is much less massive than the Earth, therefore the gravitational attraction of the moon is much weaker (about one sixth).


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!


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.
