Comparative gravities of the Earth, Sun, Moon and planets
The table below shows gravitational accelerations (in multiples of g) at the surface of the Sun, the Earth's moon, and each of the planets in the solar system. The "surface" is taken to mean the cloud tops of the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune). It is usually specified as the location where the pressure is equal to a certain value (normally 75 kPa[citation needed]). For the Sun, the "surface" is taken to mean the photosphere.
Sun 27.9
Mercury 0.37
Venus 0.88
Earth 1.00 (by definition)
Moon 0.16
Mars 0.38
Jupiter 2.64
Saturn 1.15
Uranus 0.93
Neptune 1.22

If you mean moon, your wieght would be a lot less about 1/6 as much as the gravitational pull of the moon is weaker than the earth. That is, the earth pulls you down (although you don't feel it) at a stronger rate than the moon, since the moon is smaller it has less grativational pull.

Your weight is not the same but your mass is.
Gravity is about 16% of what it is on earth, so your weight would be 16%. Weight, as it is technically defined, is a measure of the force local gravity applies to an object.

No because gravity is not the same on the moon as it is on earth!

no because there is less gravity on the moon then there is on earth

weight gravitational pull against ones mass
mass-the space one takes up
you would not weigh the same because the gravitational pull is different.
