Weight is the force of gravity between you and the Earth, pulling you together. The moon, which is much smaller than Earth, has less mass so gravity isn't as strong. Therefore, the force between you and the moon will be less.

Why is your weight different on the moon?

Weight is mass times gravity, and there is less gravity on the moon, therefore you weigh less on the moon.


If you go to the moon you be slimmer because you lose weight?

no because there is less gravity on the moon so you become lighter but when you come back to earth you will still be the same weight


Why does the weight of an object change when you go to the moon?

Your weight on the moon is one-sixth (1/6) what it is on earth.


Why do you weight less on the moon?

You weigh less on the moon compared to Earth because the moon has less mass and gravity. The gravitational pull on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth, so your weight appears to be lighter on the moon.


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.


How does your amount of matter change when you go to the moon?

Your mass does not change, but your weight does. This is because weight is a measure of the gravimetric attraction between bodies of matter. Because the moon is less massive than the earth and therefor has a smaller amount of gravity, you will weigh less on the moon.


Why is my weight lesson the moon?

because there is less gravity on the moon


On the Moon is my weight is the same?

You weight on the moon is 16.5% of what your weight is on Earth.


Why does an astronaut weight less on the moon?

Because the gravity of the moon is less, and does not pull on things as strongly as the Earth does (moon is smaller)


Why is a persons weight different on earth than on the moon?

The gravity is less on the Moon, because the Moon is smaller than earth; it has less mass, and therefore "sucks" less than the earth. Weight is gravity times mass, you have the same mass on Earth and on the Moon (and in space), but weigh less on the moon.


Will you have more or less weight on the moon than on earth?

You will have less weight on the Moon than on Earth (83.3% less), but your mass will remain unaffected. If you weigh 150lbs on Earth, then you would weigh only 26.55lbs on the Moon.


Why the weight of a body is less on the Moon than on Earth?

The weight of a body is less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less mass than Earth, causing weaker gravitational pull. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, so lower gravity on the Moon results in less weight for objects.
