As distance between objects increases the pull of gravity...

• increases 
• decreases 
• Stays the same 

A person would weigh less on the moon than on the Earth because...

• the moon has less mass, and therefore less gravity
• the moon has more mass, and therefore less gravity
• the moon has less mass, and therefore more gravity
• the moon has more mass, and therefor more gravity
