When the moon is directly overhead, a person’s weight decreases: Why?

When the Moon is directly overhead, its gravitational pull slightly reduces a person’s weight on Earth. This is because the Moon’s gravity, though weaker than Earth’s, adds an upward force, counteracting Earth’s downward pull. This effect is subtle due to the Moon’s distance, resulting in a weight reduction of only about 0.48 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. When the Moon is directly overhead, its gravitational pull slightly reduces a person’s weight on Earth.
