Why are people lighter on the moon than on the earth?

the gravitational force of the earth is much stronger then on the moon. Also, a person is not "lighter". their mass is the same, it is the weight of the person. Weight is a unit of measurement. You are lighter on the moon than on earth because there is 1/6 less gravity.

Why are astronauts lighter on the moon than 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.


Why are we lighter on the moon?

The moon is much less massive than the Earth, therefore the gravitational attraction of the moon is much weaker (about one sixth).


Why are the lighter colored halves of the moon and earth always facing the sun?

The lighter colored halves of the moon and earth are always facing the sun because of their positions in relation to the sun. As the moon orbits the earth and the earth orbits the sun, the side that is illuminated by the sun is the side facing the light source. This creates the phases of the moon and day/night cycle 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.


You are you lighter on the moon or heavier?

Since the moon's mass (the amount of matter it contains) is smaller than earth's, the moon has a weaker gravity pull, only one-sixth the pull of earth. This means that everything is six times lighter on the moon than it is on earth. A person weighing 120 pounds on earth would weigh only 20 pounds on the moon. Because man is light enough to float on the moon, heavy weights have to be put into astronauts' moon-walking boots!
