The weight of any object on the Moon is about 1/6 of the weight of the same object on the Earth.
The force of gravity on the moon is approximately one sixth that of the earth. The direct variation formula for weight on the earth compared to weight on the moon would be weight on earth divided by 6 is equals to weight on the moon.
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.
F = mass * gravitational acceleration F = 6 * 10 = 60 N.
If your weight on Earth is 545 newtons then on the moon your weight will be 1/6 as much or about 9.6kg

I believe the Moon has about 1/6 th. of the gravity of earth. So approx 3 1/2 kg.

An object will weigh approximately 6 times HEAVIER on earth than it would on the moon.
The units used for weight and mass are the same but there is a subtle difference in the meaning.Take for instance an amount of substance that has a mass of 1kg. On earth it would weigh 1 kg. Taking the same object into space it would weigh nothing but would still have a mass of 1 kg. This is called inertial mass. Taking the object to the moon and it would still have a mass of 1 kg but would weigh about 1/6 of a kg. Weight is dependant on the gravitational field where the object is. This is a simplified explanation

5.95 kg
On Earth, 6 kg of mass weighs 58.84 newtons. (rounded)
The weight of an object is given as the formula W=mg where W is the weight, m is the mass and g is the gravitational acceleration (or the gravity of planet). On earth, g is generalized as 10 N kg-1(about 9.8 N kg-1 to be more exact). On the moon, it is about 10/6 N kg-1. So, the weight of a 10kg mass on earth would be 100 N (N is Newton, the SI unit for weight) while the mass would be 16.7 N on the moon.
If your weight on Earth is 545 newtons then on the moon your weight will be 1/6 as much or about 9.6kg
