Anyone on the moon has the same mass as he has anywhere else, but because the moon's gravity is only a small fraction of what earth gravity is, he will weigh less, and will feel like he is lighter. Remember that mass is "fixed" for a person or object, but "weight" can vary depending on the gravity in which the mass is placed. Your mass on earth and on the moon are the same. Your weight on the moon will be only a bit more than .16 times what it is on earth. A "rough" figure is that you weigh about 1/7th as much on the moon as on earth.
