What if your weight is less on the moon than it is on the Earth why so?

Weight is the gravitational force exerted on an object. Your mass is the same on earth and the moon or anywhere else. Your weight depends on the gravitational force exerted on your mass and hence on your location.

Which will fly farther a cannonball fired on earth or a cannonball fired on the moon?
The moon has no atmosphere and has less gravity than the earth. That means that a cannonball fired on the moon will travel further.
Is a pencil more or less than 100g?
Everyday pencils are less than 100g in weight. (Some of the ridiculously large "souvenir" pencils may be over 100g.)
What is the formula to calculate friability?
friability F=I-F.100/I where I =Iinitial weight of tablets , F = weight after friability. Normal limit less than 1%.
Does fools gold weight as much as gold?
No, fools gold or iron pyrites is less dense than gold.
Is 245 greater than or less or equal to426?
Less than
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.
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.
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 a person weight less on the moon than on earth?
Gravity's pull is weaker on the moon. 1/7 the weight you are on earth.
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
On the moon would your weight be less than on earth?
Yes.
When brought to the surface of a moon will a mass have more or less weight when it did on the surface of th earth?
The mass will definitely weigh less as the moon is less massive than the Earth and hence the Gravity of the Moon will be lesser than Earth. The object's weight will be 1/6 times that on Earth.
Why do you weight less on the moon?
The moon has less mass than Earth so its gravitational pull is less. Your weight decreases, but you retain the same mass.
How mass and weight differs on the earth and the moon?
Mass is the same but weight is about six times less on the moon. This is because the gravitational field strength of the moon is about six times less than that of earth.
Why is your weight not the same on the moon then it is on Earth?
The moon has much less mass than Earth does and therefore has weaker gravity.
