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.
If an object weighs 100 newtons on Earth, it would weigh approximately 37.8 newtons on Mars. This is because the gravity on Mars is about 38% of the gravity on Earth.
To find an object's weight on the Moon, you can use the fact that the Moon's gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth's. If an object weighs 300 newtons on Earth, its weight on the Moon would be approximately 300 newtons ÷ 6, which equals 50 newtons. Therefore, the object would weigh about 50 newtons on the Moon.
A 10-kg mass would weigh 98 newtons (22.05 pounds) on earth, and 16 newtons (3.6 pounds) on the moon.
74 kg of mass weighs 120.1 newtons (27 pounds) on the moon, and the same 74 kg weighs 726 newtons (163 pounds) on Earth.

If an object weighs 100 newtons on Earth, it would weigh approximately 37.8 newtons on Mars. This is because the gravity on Mars is about 38% of the gravity on Earth.
An object with a mass of 20 kg weighs about 196 Newtons (44 pounds) on earth.
On Earth, 1,500 kg of mass weighs 14,710 newtons.
On earth, 90 kg of mass weighs 882 newtons.
A 10-kg mass would weigh 98 newtons (22.05 pounds) on earth, and 16 newtons (3.6 pounds) on the moon.
On earth, 1 kilogram of mass weighs 9.8 newtons.
74 kg of mass weighs 120.1 newtons (27 pounds) on the moon, and the same 74 kg weighs 726 newtons (163 pounds) on Earth.

Um... Newton is a measure of force... but an object with a mass of about 305 grams, so something light, like a medium sized pebble.
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.
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.
