Weight is determined by the effect of gravity on an object, which relates to the mass of the object. The moon has less mass than the Earth, and therefore the gravitational pull is less strong, meaning that the weight is less.

The difference in weight of Neil Armstrong when in Earth and in the moon is due to the different gravities of the Earth and the moon. Weight is a force caused by gravity. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
