Detailed explanation-1: -The mass of the moon is 1100 times and its radius 14 times that of the earth. As a result, the gravitational attraction on the moon is about one sixth when compared to that on the earth. Hence, the weight of an object on the moon is 16 th of the weight on the earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Earth’s Moon has considerably less mass than the Earth itself. Not only is the Moon smaller than the Earth, but it is only about 60 percent as dense as Earth. Thus, the gravitational attraction on the Moon is much less than it is here on Earth, and a person weighs less on the Moon.

Detailed explanation-3: -The weight of an object is more on Earth than on the moon because the earth has more gravity, causing objects to push down on it with more force.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mass of moon is lesser than that of earth. Due to this the moon exerts lesser force of attraction on objects. Hence weight of an object on the moon l/6th its weight on the earth. Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-5: -A man weigh less on the moon because the moon has less mass than Earth, due to this moon exerts a lesser force of attraction on objects. Hence, an object weighs less on the moon than on the Earth.
