the pull of gravity is not as effective on the moon because the moon is lighter therefore you end up weighing less. However, you still have the same mass, which is the amount of matter inside you, but on the moon that mass just isn't being pulled down as har as on earth. the pull of gravity is not as effective on the moon because the moon is lighter therefore you end up weighing less.

*** Whoa...dejavu. The moon is smaller therefore has less gravity making you lighter if you were 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.


If you weigh 100lbs on earth you would weigh 16.6lbs on the moon and why?

Anytime you are in a place with less gravity, you or any object will weigh less. The force of gravity on the moon is much less than on Earth.


Do you way more on earth or on the moon?

You would weigh way less on the moon. For example. If you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 16.6 pounds on the moon.

Do you weigh more or less during a full moon?

Lighter because the moon has almost the same density but much smaller size and as result interaction between any mass on the moon surface is weaker than on earth surface. Lighter because the moon has 1/6 less gravity than on earth.


Why would you weigh more on earth then moon?

The reason we weigh the amount we do is because the gravity is as strong as it is. However on the moon the gravity is not as strong, therefore we weigh less.
