Why can an astronaut on the moon carry something that weighs as much as the astronaut does?

The gravity on the moon is approximately 1/6th that of the gravity on earth. That means if he was able to lift 20 kilograms on earth, he could lift 6 times that on the moon, i.e. 120 kilograms.
Gravity is a mysterious force that pulls things toward one another.

Your weight is a function (G=mg) of the gravitational pull (g) and the mass of the object in question (m). The mass of the Moon is only 1/6 that of Earth, so the astronaut on the Moon weighs only 1/6th as much as he does on Earth. His mass does not change.
