No. Newtons are a measurement of mass and are relative only to Earth's gravity and are not affected by changes in gravity. Only weight is affected by changing gravity.
On Earth, weight and mass are the same because Earth's gravity is the benchmark constant for measuring mass in Newtons, and weight is affected by that very same factor (Earth's gravity).
On other planets, mass is unchanged because the Earthly gravity is a constant (and therefore, unchanged), and the weight changes because now it is affected by a new planetary gravity.

If oranges weigh 16.7 newtons on earth what would their weight change be on the moon?
on the moon it will weigh roughly 1/6 the amount of newtons as it does on earth. So 16.7 on earth would be about 2.8 newtons on the moon.
Would your weight be the same if you were on the moon?
no,........ weight would change according to the gravitational pull its mass which remains same. weight is measured in newtons.
A 10 kg object on the moon would have a?
A 10-kg mass would weigh 98 newtons (22.05 pounds) on earth, and 16 newtons (3.6 pounds) on the moon.
If someone weighed 85 pounds on Earth how much would they weigh on the moon in newtons?
To find your weight on the Moon, we have to divide 9.8 (gravity on the Earth) by 6. That answer has to be multiplied by 85 pounds. that answer is done in newtons as you are finding the weight on the moon. newtons is unit for weight.
What is the weight in newtons of a 50 kg person on the moon?
81 newtons.

What would an object that is 1 newtons on earth be on the moon?
One Newton on Earth is about 0.1653 newtons on the moon.
Does everything has less mass on the moon?
Your mass (kilograms) would stay the same as it never changes. But if you are talking about weight (newtons) it would depend on what you were comparing it to. If you have a weight of 300 newtons on earth then you would weigh 49.8 newtons on the moon therefore you would have lost weight. Whereas if you weighed 20.1 Newtons on Pluto you would weigh 49.8 newtons on the moon, loosing weight.
Would your weight be the same if you were on the moon?
no,........ weight would change according to the gravitational pull its mass which remains same. weight is measured in newtons.
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!
Would you weigh more on earth than on the moon?
Yes. Your 'weight' would change, (in Newtons) but your 'mass' (in pounds, kilos, grams, tonnes, ounces etc) would not.
A 10 kg object on the moon would have a?
A 10-kg mass would weigh 98 newtons (22.05 pounds) on earth, and 16 newtons (3.6 pounds) on the moon.
What would be the weight of a 10 kg object on the Moon and on Earth?
On earth: 98 newtons (22.1 pounds) On the moon: 16 newtons (3.6 pounds)
What is the mass of a person on moon if its mass on earth is 490 newtons?
Mass is a characteristic of the person or object. It stays with him/it and doesn't change no matter where he/it goes. "Newtons" is not a measurement of mass. It's a measurement of force, and it could represent the person's weight. If the person weighs 490 newtons on Earth, then his mass is about 50 kilograms anywhere, and he would weigh about 81 newtons on the moon.
What would the weight of a g object be on the moon?
It would be g/6 newtons.

How much would 10 newtons be on the moon?
approximately one sixth
