The overwhelming majority of moon rock is basalt, a very common volcanic rock. Earth has more basalt than it knows what to do with. Two equal volumes of basalt, one from earth and the other from the moon would weigh just about the same (on earth).

How would a rock's weight on the Moon or the Sun compare to its weight on Earth?
It would weigh less on the Moon and more on the Sun.
If you put a moon rock on the earth would the weight of the rock change?
Yes. On Earth rock would weigh about six times what it does on the moon. The mass however will not change.
How does the weight of an object on earth compare with it's weight on the moon?
On the Earth, the object weighs 6.04 times as much as its weight on the moon.
Why would a rock's mass and weight be affected on the moon?
A rock's mass is not affected by the moon. It's weight is a function of mass and gravity. So, the same rock would weigh more on Earth than on the Moon, as the Earth's gravity is greater. In order to effectively confuse the issue, I should point out that gravity is also a function of mass...
How much does a moon rock worth?
about 50,000 dollars

Will the mass or weight of a rock change on the moon?
180 grams of mass ... liquid, solid, gas, whatever ... weighs about 6.35 ounces on Earth and about 1.05 ounces on the surface of the moon. Any mass on the moon weighs 16.55% of its Earth weight.
How does the weight of an object on earth compare with it's weight on the moon?
On the Earth, the object weighs 6.04 times as much as its weight on the moon.
If my weight is 58 in earth so how much in moon?
If your weight is 58 on earth it is different on the moon because the gravitational pull on the moon is different.

How much less do you weight on the Moon than you do on Earth?
On the Moon one weighs one-sixth the weight on Earth.
How can you find out how much you weigh on the moon?
Multiply any earth weight by 0.163 to get the moon weight of the same object.
What is weight in kg on the moon if you weigh 545 newtons?
If your weight on Earth is 545 newtons then on the moon your weight will be 1/6 as much or about 9.6kg
