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.
1.961kN at Earth's surface.
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.
