Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight is the measure of how much force you are exerting on the ground or scale. It is not exactly mass, which does not change no matter the gravity. Since the force you exert on the ground is proportional to mass and gravity, on the moon you would in fact weigh less because the gravity is weaker. Hope this helps!
