Why is measurement different on the earth than it is on the moon?

Lengths, distances, areas, volumes, quantities, times, velocities, speeds, masses, and accelerations
all measure exactly the same on the moon as they do on earth.
Weights of objects are different on the moon, because the weight of an object is another word for the gravitational pull on a object. The Gravitational pull of an object is dependent on two things, the mass of the object (which remains the same) and the distance from the center to the Earth (Which changes drastically).

Which measurement tool would give different result on the moon than on earth even when measuring the same object?
spring scale
How is the composition of the moon different from Earth's composition?
the moon has a different iron level than the earth because the moon was not formed from the earth .
How is the Moon and Earth different from the Earth?
The moon is much more smaller than the Earth.
How is your weight different on the moon than earth?
your weight is one sixth on the moon than how your weight is on earth
Why does object have a different weight on the moon than it does on earth?
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
Why does an object have different weight on the moon than it does on earth?
the earth and moon have different values for the acceleration due to gravity.
How would your weigh be different on the moon than on the earth?
Your wight on the moon would be about one sixth of what it is on Earth.
Why are people lighter on the moon than on the 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.
Why is the gravity different to on the moon than on earth?
The strength of gravity of an object is proportional to its mass. The moon has much less mass than earth does.
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.
Why is the weight of an object different on earth than on the moon?
Gravity on the moon is one-sixth of that on Earth, so you will exert less force on the moon.
Why is weight of objects different on the moon than on the earth?
Gravity on the moon is one-sixth of that on Earth, so you will exert less force on the moon.
