While watching a video in class, Jennifer observed that astronauts moved large containers around easily on the Moon; however, she remembered that the same containers seemed more difficult to move when they were training on Earth. Which of the following best describes why the large containers appeared easier to move on the Moon than on Earth?

The difference in the gravitational pull of the astronomical bodies causes a difference in the mass of containers.
The gravitational pull of the astronomical bodies is the same, causing a difference in the mass of containers.

The difference in the gravitational pull of the astronomical bodies causes a difference in the weight of containers.
Mass stays the same, but weight = mass × gravitational acceleration (w = mg). Because the Moon's gravity is much weaker, the containers weigh less there, so they are easier to lift and move.
