Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Since the moon has significantly less mass than the Earth, it will not pull objects toward itself at the strength that Earth will. This means that if you went to the moon you would weigh less, even though your mass stays the same!
Detailed explanation-2: -This is because Moon is less massive than Earth. A body’s surface gravity is proportional to its mass.
Detailed explanation-3: -If you were standing on the Moon, your mass–or the amount of stuff you’re made of–wouldn’t change. However, your weight would change because the gravity on the Moon is much weaker than it is on Earth.
