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!

What would you conclude if the rocks on the Moon were much heavier or much lighter than those on Earth?

If the rocks on the Moon were much heavier than those on Earth, it could indicate differences in composition or density. If the rocks on the Moon were much lighter, it might suggest the presence of different minerals or less weathering processes compared to Earth. Further analysis would be needed to understand the reasons for the weight discrepancy.
