Oh, dude, on the moon, a 100 kg mass would weigh about 16.5 kg because the moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. So, like, if you're planning on a moon trip to lose some weight, I wouldn't recommend it. Just stick to the gym, man.
The difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon has to due with the difference between mass and weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter and weight is the pull of gravity on that mass. Gravity on the moon is about 83% that on earth, so if you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you will weigh approximately 17 lbs on the moon.
The question is ill-posed. Weight is mesured in Newtons (N) as it's a force, it's mass is measured in kg. There are ctually two questions mixed together here. Let's answer both: 1) If an astronaut has a mass of 100kg on earth what is his mass on the moon? 100kg - put him on a frictionless surface and try and accelerate him, it's just has hard on the moon as on earth (or anywhere else for that matter). 2) If an astronaut weighs 981N on the surface of the earth (as an astronaut of mass 100kg would) how much does he weigh on the moon? Surface gravity on the earth is 9.81m/s/s which is how we end up with the 100kg astronaut weighing 981N. On the moon surface gravity is only 1.62m/s/s so the same astronaut would weigh 162N - about 1 sixth that on earth.
The Earth has more matter than the moon. The Earth has a much larger mass and volume, containing a diverse range of elements and compounds. In comparison, the moon has a much smaller mass and volume, primarily composed of rock and dust.
On the moon, gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth's. Therefore, if someone weighs 100 pounds on Earth, they would weigh approximately 16.7 pounds on the moon.
On the moon, 100 pounds would weigh approximately 16.5 pounds, due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth's gravity.
Every mass has gravity. If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, then you would weigh about 16 pounds on the moon.
As good as. If you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you would weigh 16.54 lbs on the moon. One sixth of 100 equals 16.6666.... Close enough.
About 1/6 of what you weigh on Earth. For example, if you have a mass of 60 kg, on Earth you weight about 600 N, while on the Moon you would weight about 100 N.

100kg = 220.5 pounds.
Neither. Millilitres measure volume not mass. Grams measure mass

600 lbs
On the moon, gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth's. Therefore, if someone weighs 100 pounds on Earth, they would weigh approximately 16.7 pounds on the moon.
On the moon, 100 pounds would weigh approximately 16.5 pounds, due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth's gravity.
If you go to another planet, your mass will basically remain the same, but your weight will change, depending on the gravity.For example, if you have a mass of 100 kg. (that's overweight, but it simplifies calculations!), on Earth you would weigh 980 Newton. On the Moon, with less gravity, you would weigh about 160 Newton - but your mass would still be 100 kg.
