Yes. This is why they wear extra weight on their boots to keep them from floating above the surface of the moon. The moon has less gravitational pull due to its smaller size compared to the Earth.

Would you weigh more on Saturn or Mercury?
You would weigh less because there is less gravity on mercury than on earth so you would weigh less!
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.
Because mercury is less massive than earth things there would weigh?
they would weigh more. more gravity= more weightadd. With a smaller gravity, they would weigh LESS.
What planets would a person weigh less than on earth?
You would seem to weigh less on Mars or on Venus than you do here on Earth, although the environment of Venus would be intolerable because of the high temperature and extreme pressures. On Mercury you would weigh much less, but the heat there is intense.
Would you weight more on the moon than you do on the earth?
You would weigh less
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.
Are things heavier on Mercury or earth?
Mercury has less gravity, so objects on Mercury would weigh less than they would on Earth
Would the earth weigh less without fat people?
yes
Would you weigh more or less on mercury than on earth?

Would person weigh more or less on the moon?
The Moon is much smaller than the Earth, and its Mass is much less. Thus the pull of gravity is much less on the Moon.Therefore, you would weigh less on the Moon than on Earth, even though your Mass would be the same.
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.
What is the weight in tones of Venus?
Venus is slightly smaller than the earth and has less gravity, so we would weigh less on Venus than we do on Earth. To determine how much you would weigh on Venus you multiply your Earth weight by 0.9. On object of 100 pounds would weigh only 90 pounds on Venus.
