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.

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 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.


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.


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


Why the weight of a body is less on the Moon than on Earth?

The weight of a body is less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less mass than Earth, causing weaker gravitational pull. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, so lower gravity on the Moon results in less weight for objects.


On the moon would your weight be less than on earth?

Yes.


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.


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 is the weight on earth different than the weight on the moon?

The weight on Earth is greater due to its stronger gravitational pull compared to the moon. The gravitational force on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth, resulting in objects weighing less on the moon than on Earth.
