Weight equals mass times acceleration of gravity.

W = m * g

Mass always stays the same, but different places have different gravity. So, something weighs less on the moon compared to earth.

The typical value of "g" is 10 m/s/s (or 32 ft/s/s) on Earth.

Remember that weight is a force and is therefore measured in Newtons. Mass is measured in grams and kilograms.Mass is a measure of the number of atoms in an object, and therefore remains constant anywhere in the galaxy, whereas weight is a measure of how much force an object is being pressed down with onto/towards a surface (and therefore can vary with different strengths of gravity).
