not as much gravity
An object is lighter on the moon because the moon is smaller and thus lighter than the Earth
The lighter coloured regions of the Moon are called highlands or less commonly as terrae.
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!
A man experiences weightlessness on the moon because the moon has less mass and gravity than Earth. The gravitational pull on the moon is approximately one-sixth that of Earth, which means that objects and people on the moon weigh less and feel lighter than they do on 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.
I am pretty sure that comets are lighter than moons but it depends on the comet
Man in the Moon = mmoaonn
The lighter areas of the Moon are called "highlands." These regions are composed primarily of anorthosite, a type of rock that is lighter in color compared to the darker basalt found in the Moon's maria, or lava plains. The highlands are more heavily cratered and generally represent the Moon's oldest surface.
The lack of gravity makes everything lighter in space. On earth, we are under the force of gravity.

The moon has less mass than the Earth, so it has less gravity. This is why you're lighter on the moon.
Well the easiest thing to say is that the moon is smaller and lighter than earth.
