Question
a person would weigh less on on the moon than on the earth because... moon has more mass, and therefore less gravity moon has more mass, and therefore more gravity moon has less mass, and therefore more gravity moon has less mass and therefore less gravity
Gravity is related to mass. The more mass an object has, the stronger its gravitational pull. The Moon has less mass than the Earth, so its gravitational force is weaker. A person's weight is the force exerted on them by gravity. So a person weighs less on the Moon due to the Moon's weaker gravity caused by its lower mass.
