Your weight on the moon is about 16.55% of your weight on Earth.
If you weigh 200 pounds on Earth, then you'll weigh 33.1 pounds on the moon.
Plus, of course, your space suit and all the rest of the gear you have to wear in
order to survive on the moon.
Your weight would go down by a 1/6th because the Moon is a 1/6th of the Earth's mass.
E.g: If you weighed 100 pounds on Earth then you would be only about 16 pounds on the moon. Think how high you could jump!
To find out what your weight would be take you weight (in pounds) and divide by six!
For mass, however, your mass would always be the same! Your now thinking: "Hang on a second, why?!" Well, the thing to remember about mass is that it's always constant and if your on Earth, Mars, the Moon, or anywhere, it'll always be the same.
On The Moon, Whatever Weight You Are, You Will Be One-Sixth Of Your Earth Weight.
E.G. I Weigh 60kg On Earth. On The Moon I Weigh 10kg

Another contributor agonized:
That answer was going along so nicely, until suddenly it went off the cliff.
-- Whatever your earth weight is, multiply that number by 0.16 to find your weight on the moon.
If you weigh 100 pounds on earth, you'll weigh 16.3 pounds on the moon.
-- Whatever your moon weight is, multiply that number by 6.13 to find your earth weight.
If you weigh 25 pounds on the moon, you'll weigh 153 pounds on earth.
-- "Kg" is a unit of mass, not weight. If your mass is 60 kg, then your mass is 60 kg,
regardless of where you are ... on earth, on the moon, or in space on the way from
one to the other. Your mass doesn't change.
Yes, it would change. It would change because in space there is no gravity and your balance would be lesser.
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!
The mass of an object itself does not change on the moon. However, an object's weight is less than it would be on Earth because the moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's gravity.
Your weight on the moon is one-sixth (1/6) what it is on earth.
When you travel from the planet Earth to another place, such as the International Space Station or the moon, your mass would remain the same but your weight would change.
Mass is a measurement of how much matter exists in the body you're measuring.The amount of matter in you doesn't change on the moon, so you would still have a mass of 50 kg.What does change on the moon is your weight, which is a unit of force, not mass.The weight would be 1/6th of what it is on earth (about 8.3kg)
His weight would be approx 1/6 of his weight on earth.
-- Your mass doesn't change, no matter where you are. -- Your weight on the moon is 16.5% of what it is on Earth.
Yes. On Earth rock would weigh about six times what it does on the moon. The mass however will not change.

The weight of an object is determined by how much gravity is pulling on it. The moon has far less gravitational pull than the earth, and so you would weigh less on the moon.
No. As long as you continued to eat your astronaut food and do your astronaut exercises, your weight would remain constant on the moon. But it would only be about 16% of your weight on Earth. Your mass would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth, and would also not change while you're there.
yes it would change
The mass of an object itself does not change on the moon. However, an object's weight is less than it would be on Earth because the moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's gravity.
The mass will not change. Its weight measured on the Moon would be 1/6th of what it is on Earth.
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.
The same as it is on the Earth. Mass does not change, weight does.If you weighed 50kg on Earth you would weigh about 8.3kg on the Moon.
The planet Earth has more gravitation pull than its moon. Therefore the weight on earth is more than that on the moon. The mass though does not change.
