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 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.


Why does a persons weight decrease on the Moon?

A person's weight decreases on the Moon due to its lower gravity compared to Earth. The Moon's gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth, so a person weighs less because there is less gravitational pull on their body.


Would you way more on the moon than earth?

nope your body weight would be less


Why do you weight less on the moon?

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.


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.


On the Moon is my weight is the same?

You weight on the moon is 16.5% of what your weight is on Earth.


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.


What happens to your mass and weight on the moon?

Your weight gets less (because the Moon is smaller than the Earth and therefore gravity on the moon is less than on the Earth) but your mass (and therefore your inertia) remain the same. example if you weighed 100 pounds on earth you would weigh 17 pounds on the moon (The moons gravity is 17% of earths)


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.


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
