the amount of gravity on earth versus the moon
Any object on the moon weighs 1/6th of what it weighs on Earth. For e.g., a 6kg object will weigh only 1kg on the moon.
the moon
No. Any object on the moon would weigh about a sixth of what it does on Earth.
The weight of 42 pounds on earth would weigh 7 pounds on the moon.
about a 1/6th
An object will weigh approximately 6 times HEAVIER on earth than it would on the moon.
Anytime you are in a place with less gravity, you or any object will weigh less. The force of gravity on the moon is much less than on Earth.
An object or bunch of objects that weigh 300 pounds on the earth would, if transported to thesurface of the moon, weigh 48.98 pounds there. (rounded)
Gravity has no effect on the mass of an object. However, an object's weight is the measurement of gravitational force on the object. The gravitational force on the moon for example is ~ 1/6 of that on Earth. A 300 kg object would weigh 3000N (Newtons) on the Earth but only weigh 500 N on the Moon but its mass would still be 300 kg on the Moon and on the Earth.
Multiply any earth weight by 0.163 to get the moon weight of the same object.
On the Moon, it would weigh 20.4 pounds.
About 30.5 pounds
