while the mass of the astronaut doesn't change the acceleration of gravity on the moon is much less than that on earth. Since weight is a measure of force (N)=m(kg)xa(m/(ss)), a decreased gravity on the moon would mean a decreased weight
Astronauts weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less mass and gravity than Earth. The gravitational force on the Moon is about 1/6th that of Earth, so objects (including astronauts) weigh less on the Moon due to this weaker gravity.
Because the moon's gravity is approximately 1/6th of that on Earth.
Astronauts are lighter on the moon because the moon has less mass than Earth, which results in weaker gravitational pull. This weaker gravity causes objects to weigh less on the moon compared to Earth.
you wight less because of the gravity in space
Astronauts weigh less on the Moon than on Earth due to the Moon's weaker gravitational pull. Gravity is determined by mass and distance; the Moon has only about one-sixth the mass of Earth and a smaller radius, resulting in lower gravitational force. Consequently, objects and people experience less weight on the Moon, making them feel lighter and allowing them to jump higher and move more easily.

they do-there is no gravity
9.7% less than you weigh on Earth, 138% more than you weigh on Mars.
Same reason the astronauts bounce around on the Moon. The Moon is smaller than Earth, so we weigh less. Saturn is bigger than Earth, so we would weigh more.
No, you weigh less because the moon has less mass, or is smaller, than earth whick means that is has less of a gravitational pull.

Because it has less mass than earth
On the International Space Station, you would experience microgravity, so your weight would be significantly less compared to Earth. Astronauts on the ISS feel weightless because they are falling towards Earth as fast as the station itself.
