Best Answer

Your weight is actually (1/6)th in the moon.

But, KG is a unit of mass and not weight. Mass remains constant no matter where you are. So, if you're in Mars or Earth or the Moon, you mass remains the same.

You weight on the other hand changes due to the force of gravity. Weight is actually the force exerted by the gravity on any substance and KG is not a unit of weight. Units of weight are Newton,Pound, etc.

So if your mass is 1KG, your mass will be the same on Moon as well.

What would a kilogram weigh on the moon?

A kilogram weight would "weigh" about 170 grams on the Moon.1 kg on the Moon = acceleration 1.67 m/sec2 x 1 kg = 1.67 NewtonCompared to Earth: acceleration 9.81 m/sec2 x 1 kg = 9.81 Newton1.67 / 9.81 = 0.170 (about 1/6 its weight on the Earth)


How much would 50N weigh on the moon?

Would people weigh heavier on the moon?

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)


What is the weight of a 10 kg mass?

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.


What is weight in kg on the moon if you weigh 545 newtons?

If your weight on Earth is 545 newtons then on the moon your weight will be 1/6 as much or about 9.6kg


If 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?

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.


What is the weight of a 10-kg object on the Moon compared to its weight on Earth?

The weight of any object on the Moon is about 1/6 of the weight of the same object on the Earth.


What is your weight on earth if your weight on the moon is 36kg?

There is gravity on the moon! The gravity on the Moon is 1/6th that of what is observed on Earth. An object with a weight of 36 kg on Earth would weigh 1/6th that on the Moon. 1/6th of 36kg is, 6 kg. An object with a MASS of 36 kg on Earth would have the same 36 kg MASS on the moon. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, whereas WEIGHT is the measurement of the force of gravity on that MASS. This is why your weight will change when visiting other planets, but your mass stays constant plant to planet!


What would be the weight in kilograms of a 50 kg body?

The weight of a body depends upon the force of gravity acting upon that body. A 50 kg body will have a weight that is 50 times that of a 1 kg mass. The weight of the body will be different on earth, on the moon and in deep space (zero).


If an object of mass 20 kg on earth is sent to the moon it will have a weight of?

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


Whats the units of weight and mass?

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
