"Weight" is the gravitational attraction between you and something else.
In our daily life, it's always the gravitational attraction between us and
the Earth. But when a person or an object is on the moon or a different
planet, then the "something else" is something else ... not the Earth.

On the moon, the weight of anything is about 17% of its Earth-weight.
