Because mass and force are related to the acceleration* of the body on which the object rests. Earth's acceleration at or near the surface is 9.807 meters per second squared. The moon's acceleration is about only 1.62 meters per second squared, thus the difference in mass and force.

* Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes over time.

What is the gravitation force of Saturn?

That acceleration of gravity at the surface of Saturn is 9.0 m/sec2, or about 91.8% ofits value at the earth's surface.An object that weighs 100 pounds (or 100 newtons) on earth would weigh 91.8 pounds(or 91.8 newtons) on Saturn.


If a space colonist weighs 800.15 newtons on earth what would the colonist weigh on the moon?

The gravitational acceleration on the moon is about one-sixth that of Earth. Therefore, the colonist would weigh 800.15 newtons / 6 ≈ 133.36 newtons on the moon.
