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.
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
The astronauts' mass did not change when they were on the Moon. Mass remains constant regardless of location. However, their weight would have been less on the Moon due to its lower gravity compared to 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.
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.
gravity is stronger on the earth cuz the earth is bigger that the moon :)>'

because of gravity
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.

Because the moon's gravity is approximately 1/6th of that on Earth.
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.
An astronaut weighs less on the Moon than on Earth due to the Moon's lower gravitational force. Gravity depends on both the mass of the celestial body and the distance from its center; the Moon has about 1/6th the gravity of Earth because it has significantly less mass. This reduced gravitational pull means that objects, including astronauts, experience less weight on the Moon. Consequently, while their mass remains the same, the force of gravity acting on them is weaker, resulting in a lower weight.
You weigh less on the moon compared to Earth because the moon has less mass and gravity. The gravitational pull on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth, so your weight appears to be lighter on the moon.
The weight of an object is the product of its mass (M) and the acceleration due to gravity (g). We represent this product as mass, m times (x) acceleration (g) = mg. On the moon, (g) is less than that on the earth. Hence every object on the moon will have a lower or smaller weight when compared with its weight on the earth. The quantity of matter in both locations will be the same, but the product or weight will be different. This is taught in physics and experienced by astronauts. That is why astronauts can move around and carry weights with less hindrance. A man on the moon could, (except for the strings and tubes that hold him) run faster on the moon when compared with his speed on earth if he has as much oxygen to breath.
