The moon has less mass than the Earth, so it has less gravity. This is why you're lighter on the moon.

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.
Why do you weight less on the moon?
The moon has less mass than Earth so its gravitational pull is less. Your weight decreases, but you retain the same mass.
Why is my weight lesson the moon?
because there is less gravity on the moon
Astronauts jump easily on the moon How does this compare to his mass and weight on the earth?
The mass is the same in both cases; the weight on the Moon is less (by a factor of 6, approximately).The mass is the same in both cases; the weight on the Moon is less (by a factor of 6, approximately).The mass is the same in both cases; the weight on the Moon is less (by a factor of 6, approximately).The mass is the same in both cases; the weight on the Moon is less (by a factor of 6, approximately).
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.
Is a person's mass less on the moon?
No- their weight is less, but mass is not changed.
How much less do you weight on the Moon than you do on Earth?
On the Moon one weighs one-sixth the weight on Earth.
Why is the weight of an object on the moon different from that on earth?
Because there is less gravity on the moon
Why is the weight of an object on the moon different from from the earth?
Because there is less gravity on the moon
How mass and weight differs on the earth and the moon?
Mass is the same but weight is about six times less on the moon. This is because the gravitational field strength of the moon is about six times less than that of earth.
