Question

Responses

You would weigh more because gravity is higher on the moon than on Earth
You would weigh more because gravity is higher on the moon than on Earth

You would weigh the same since gravity is the same on the moon as it is on Earth
You would weigh the same since gravity is the same on the moon as it is on Earth

You would weigh less since the gravity is less on the moon than on Earth

Answer 1

You would weigh less since the gravity is less on the moon than on Earth.

The moon's gravitational pull is approximately 1/6th that of Earth's, which means that an object (or person) would weigh significantly less on the moon compared to their weight on Earth. However, the mass of the object would remain the same regardless of the location.
