I like this question actually. If you tried to lift the moon, standing on the earth, and tried to life the earth, standing on the moon, you would find that they weigh the same. However if you tried to lift both from mars, you would find that the earth weighs more.

it would take 81 1/2 moons to equal the weight of the Earth. So the Earth is heavier.

The Earth. The reason this is true, besides the fact that it is bigger, is the fact that the moon revolves around the Earth. Because of the laws of gravity, smaller objects are attracted to larger ones, by mass. Therefore the Earth is bigger

The Earth. It's bigger than the Moon. It also holds the heaviest things we know. The Earth holds Whales, Giant squids, Billions of people and it also holds the worlds heaviest man which is like 1 or 2 thousand pounds.

I think the appropriate question is which has more mass. Weight is based on the pull of gravity of the earth. I would make a guess and say that since the earth is much larger it's mass might be greater.

Your question is not properly asked. Weight depends on the mass of the object and on the intensity of the gravitational field where it is located.
So for objects on different regions of space we should talk of mass instead of weight.
Anyhow I starred your question.

Moon — Mass: 7.3477×1022 KG (0.0123 Earths)
Earth — Mass: 5.9736×1024 KG
(from wikipedia)
so moon is not heavier
