The beach ball is less strongly attracted to Earth.
Explanation: Weight is the gravitational force, which depends on an object's mass. A beach ball contains mostly air and has much less mass than a bowling ball, so the gravitational pull (weight) on it is smaller. (Air buoyancy also slightly reduces its apparent weight.)
