Answer:

Decrease, decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight is the product of mass times acceleration due to gravity.

W = m x g

where W is the weight, m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

If the force of gravity decreases then weight decreases. The force of gravity on moon is 60 times less than that on Earth; hence astronauts on moon experience weightlessness.
