Question
How much less do I weigh when the moon is directly overhead because of the Moon’s gravitational pull on me, pulling me away from the Earth?
Answer
We calculated it's something like 0.48g lighter for a 100kg person. They're gonna be about 0.5g lighter when the moon is directly overhead because the moon is attracting you in the same way it attracts water when it makes tides.
