It is due to the calculation..
The mass and the radius of moon is less as compared to that of earth . The gravity ( acceleration due to gravity ) depends on these factors ..
g ( a) = GM÷r^2
Where G = gravitional constant
M = mass
g(a) = gravity
r = radius

The Moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second per second. The Moon's surface gravity is weaker because it is far less massive than Earth. A body's surface gravity is proportional to its mass, but inversely proportional to the square of its radius
