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.
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 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.
You weight on the moon is 16.5% of what your weight is on Earth.
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)
Because there is less gravity on the moon
because the moon has less gravity than the earth
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.
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.
nope your body weight would be less

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.
On the Moon one weighs one-sixth the weight on Earth.
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)
The moon has less mass than the Earth, so it has less gravity. This is why you're lighter on the moon.
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
