On its own yes, but if combined with the previous statement that a pen would float away, it just exhibits a piecemeal and inconsistent understanding of physics.


Why? On earth, heavy boots hold you down, but dust and feathers float away.

The moon has less gravity than the Earth, so a pen is like a feather.

Blah blah atmosphere electro-magnetism blah, the universe is big ad complicated.


Oh god. Feathers and dust don't float away because they're weightless.

They float away because air currents exert forces on them that are greater than their weight. Eventually, in a still-air environment, the feather and the dust will settle to the ground. You can verify this by going to your nearest attic.


To be fair, your nearest attic might have dust on the walls and ceiling as well, though maybe not as much...


See the famous video of one of the lunar astronauts dropping a hammer and a feather at the same time. Both of them drop fairly rapidly to the surface.
