I've heard arguments that the moon effects your weight, although largely negligible. What if the moon was eclipsing the sun, how can we calculate the change in weight for 1. Someone watching the eclipse 2. Someone sleeping in their bed on the other side of the globe

are you fucking stupid?
[math]F=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}[/math]
Go find out what the mass of the Earth, Moon, and Sun are, respectively, and how far a person is from the center of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, respectively.
And then do some fucking algebra
