Because there is less gravity. There is less gravity because the moons total mass is less than the earths and gravity is related to mass.

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 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.
When brought to the surface of a moon will a mass have more or less weight when it did on the surface of th earth?
The mass will definitely weigh less as the moon is less massive than the Earth and hence the Gravity of the Moon will be lesser than Earth. The object's weight will be 1/6 times that on Earth.
Why is the weight of an object on the moon different from from the earth?
Because there is less gravity on the moon
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 the the weight of a body on earth not the same on the moon?
because the moon has less gravity than the earth
Why does everything has the same mass on earth and the moon but everything weighs more on earth that it does on the moon?
Mass doesn't depend on gravity whereas weight does. And moon has gravity less than earth so a body weighs less on moon as compared to its weight on earth. But mass remains same.
Would you way more on the moon than earth?
nope your body weight would be less
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.
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.
Is your weight on the moon the same as your weight on earth?
Your weight is less on the moon than it is on the Earth, but your mass is still the same. Teehee. I was here! >:D
Why does a person weight less on the moon than on earth?
Gravity's pull is weaker on the moon. 1/7 the weight you are on earth.
Why is weight less on the moon?
The moon has less mass than the Earth, so it has less gravity. This is why you're lighter 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.
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 a person lighter on the moon that on Earth?
Because your weight depends on the mass of whatever other body is near you, and your distance from it. The moon has much less mass than the earth has, so the force between you and the moon when you're on it is much less than the force between you and the earth when you're on it.
