The force of gravity is based on the mass of an object, and weight is a measurement of the effect of gravity. Because the Moon has significantly less mass than the Earth, a person would weigh less on the Moon.
The gravity on the surface of the Moon is about 1/6th of what the Earth's gravity is. So an astronaut would only weigh 1/6 of his Earth weight. This allowed the Apollo astronauts, even in heavy spacesuits, to jog about easily on the lunar surface.

∙ 13y agoThe reason that you would way so little on Pluto is because there would be less gravity pushing down on you than on earth, which would make you lighter. Although your mass would stay the same.

Is Pluto's gravity more or less than earth's if so what would an object weigh on Pluto?
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Pluto is 0.658 meters/second2 ... about 7% of the corresponding number on the Earth's surface. A man who weighs 200pounds on Earth would weigh 13pounds 6.7ounces on Pluto.
Would you weigh the least on Jupiter Pluto Saturn or earth?
Which planet would I weigh the least Jupiter, Pluto, Saturn, or Earth
How mulch would you weigh on Pluto?
Because Pluto is so small you would be very light if you visited. If you weigh 70 pounds [32 kg] on Earth, you would only weigh 4 pounds [2.5 kg] on Pluto.
If you weigh 120 pounds on earth how much would you weigh on Pluto?
Since Pluto's gravitational pull on its surface is only about 6% that of the Earth on its surface, you would weigh 6% of your Earth weight if you were to stand on Pluto's surface. So, to convert your Earth-weight to your Pluto-weight, you have to multiply your Earth weight by 0.06. In this case, if you weigh 125 lbs on the Earth, you would weigh 7.43 lbs on Pluto.
Why would a person weigh less on Pluto compared to the earth?
Due to the mass or size of Pluto compared to Earth, about 2/3 the size of our moon, the gravitational pull of Pluto is greatly weaker than Earth's.
