    The gravitational potential will change more on earth.

    Explanation:

    The gravity on the moon is only 17% of that of earth's because the earth has way more mass. Since the gravitational potential depends on the mass of the human and the height of the ladder, and both things will remain equal, no matter where they are, so we could assume that the gravitational potential energy will change more on earth.
