Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Every particle attracts every other particle on the earth with a force which is directly proportional to the masses of both the bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Gravitational force is a weak force. The object's weight on the moon is the force with which the moon attracts it. The moon's mass is less than that of the earth. So, it exerts a lesser force of attraction on an object than on earth.
