Answer:

Weight reduces

Step-by-step explanation:

As you continue to move away form the earth to the moon, weight begins to reduce because the acceleration due to gravity reduces.

Weight is the force gravity on a body;

Weight = mass x gravity

Since mass is consistent and does not vary, the weight changes due to differences in gravity on the bodies.

  • On the moon, the gravity is lower than on the earth.
  • This also, makes the weight lower on the moon.
