Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The Moon's gravitational pull does create tidal forces that affect your weight, but the effect is microscopically small - about 0.00001% of your body weight, or less than a gram for an average person. This is completely undetectable on normal bathroom scales. The claim is FALSE because while a theoretical gravitational effect exists, it's practically zero in everyday life.
