The mass always stays the same, but because gravity is 38% of Earth, weight is only 38 pounds for every 100 pounds on earth.
On the Earth, the object weighs 6.04 times as much as its weight on the moon.
Weight is the measure of the earth's pull of an object.
The mass will definitely weigh less as the moon is less massive than the Earth and hence the Gravity of the Moon will be lesser than Earth. The object's weight will be 1/6 times that on Earth.

the weight of an object grows more
Nothing happens to the weight of an object on the moon. It remains constant, at about 16% of what the same object weighs when it's on the Earth.
It reduces to one sixth of it's earth weight.
If the object is on or near the Earth's surface, then most people call that force the object's "weight". Nobody ever gives any attention to the gravitational force that the object exerts on the Earth, probably because it happens to be exactly the same as the object's weight on the Earth. The neat thing about it, however, is that the same force is also the Earth's weight on the object.

The object's mass is the same wherever it is. Mass doesn't change. What changes is the object's weight.The weight depends on what other mass happens to be nearby.When you know the object's weight on earth, multiply that by 0.1633 to find its weight on the moon.If you don't need it that close, it might be easier to just divide the earth weight by 6.
The weight of any object on the Moon is about 1/6 of the weight of the same object on the Earth.
This object has a weight on Earth of 67.5 pounds.
On the Earth, the object weighs 6.04 times as much as its weight on the moon.
The force of gravity between the Earth and an object on its surface is what we call the object's "weight". What is not generally appreciated is that the object attracts the Earth toward it with the same force. This means that whatever your weight is on Earth, it's the same as the Earth's weight on you.
The weight of an object on the moon's surface is 16.3% of the same object's weight on the earth's surface.
