Because weight is determined by gravitational pull on your mass. The Moon has less gravitational pull than earth so you will weigh less, even though your mass remains the same.

Are you closer to the earths core or moons surface when standing at sea level?

Earth's core


When you are you closer to the Moon's surface or the earths core?

None, only the earths core is more closer, the moons surface is 37.000 Vertices from earth


How would your weight change if you went from the Earth to the moon?

Your would weigh 1/6th as much as you do here on mother Earth. The how is our moons' mass, and therefore its' gravity, is about 1/6 as much as the Earths'. Its' gravity well is not as deep as the Earths.


How much of the moons surface can be seen from the earths surface when full?

The Moon is roughly spherical; weather permitting, we see the near half of the Moon.


What is the compare of the earth and the moon in terms of size and surface gravity?

earth is 81.3 times the mass of the moon . acceleration due to gravity at earths surface = 9.82 (m/s)/s acceleration due to gravity at moons surface = 1.62 (m/s)/s . 1 kg at earths surface, force = 1 * 9.82 = 9.82 newtons 1 kg at moons surface, force = 1 * 1.62 = 1.62 newtons


Is Pluto smaller the Earths moons?

Yes as Pluto is the smallest and the last planet in the solar system, it is smaller then the earths moons.


If you were on the moon your weight would be roughly what fraction of your weight on earth?

The moons gravity is a lot lower than the Earths, so the men exploring the lunar surface will weigh a lot less, roughly 1/6th of what they do on earth.


What would be effect on mass and weight of a body if it is taken from earth surface to the surface of moon?

The mass of the body remains the same because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, which does not change. However, the weight of the body will be different on the moon compared to Earth, as weight depends on the gravitational pull on an object. The gravitational force on the moon is around 1/6th of that on Earth, so the body will weigh approximately 1/6th of its weight on Earth when on the moon.


How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?

Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.


Why is the moons appearance as seen from earth changes in a monthly cycle?

The moons appearance changes because what we see from the earths surface is a reflection influenced by three diferent sources the sun, earth, and moon. The reflection we see is completely dependent upon the given position of these three bodies and that is why the appearance appears to change. However, if you use a telescope you should find the surface of the moon doesn't in fact change what changes is the shaded area! Hope this helps!
