The moon's gravity is 1/6 the force of Earth's gravity, so you would weight 1/6 as much on the moon than on the Earth. For example, if you were 120 kg on Earth, you would be 20 kg on the Moon. (120 / 6 = 20)

force (or weight) depends on mass * local acceleration due to gravity

70 kg on earth = 70 * 9.82 = 687.4 newtons

70 kg on moon = 70 * 1.623 = 113.61 newtons

Our weight on Earth is caused by Earth's gravity pulling us down to the ground. As the Moon's gravity is much less, one sixth of the Earth's gravity, so we would weigh less on the Moon.

It is because there is less gravitational force on the moon.


How do you get your weight on the moon?

The force of gravity of the Moon is about 1/6 that of Earth. So on the Moon you would weight about 1/6 of what you weight on Earth. i do not understand the question do you mean how do i find out my weight if i were to stand on the moon? NONE as the moon has little gravity (i think) or how do people walk on the moon?# there space boots are very heaving although when they walk in them they dont seem that heavy as there is no gravity but the weights in the bootsw drag the perspn down to the surface of the moon hope that helps Lve from Rachel dg101 XxX

Why An object will weigh approximately 6 times HEAVIER on earth than it would on the moon?

Earth is a about 6 times more massive than the moon (Has more density per volume, since it's technically weightless in space) Gravity is proportional to how large a planet or moon is, so the object will be heavier on earth (a larger planet) than on the moon (a small body)
