Why do you weigh less on the Moon than on Earth?
Weight is the product of an object's mass and the dominant gravitational field that it feels. On Earth, objects feel a gravitational acceleration which is dependent on the mass of the earth and its rotational motion. On the moon, these forces are reduced since the moon is much smaller in size. Therefore objects technically 'weigh' less, but not lose any mass.
