The correct statement that explains why an object on the moon feels lighter than the same object on Earth is:
The moon has less mass than Earth.
This is because weight is determined by the gravitational force acting on an object, which is proportional to the mass of the object and the mass of the celestial body it is on. The moon has about 1/6th the gravitational pull of Earth, which is why objects weigh less on the moon.
