Excellent question! It doesn't tell us much.
On the moon, the force exerted by 10 newtons would be approximately 1.63 newtons, because the moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. This means that objects will weigh much less on the moon compared to Earth.
A space body circling another is typically referred to as a satellite. This can be a natural satellite, like the Moon orbiting Earth, or an artificial satellite, such as the International Space Station. The gravitational pull of the larger body keeps the smaller body in orbit, balancing the centripetal force with gravitational attraction. This relationship is crucial for various scientific, communication, and navigational purposes.
The satellite is affected by Earth's gravity due to the gravitational force exerted by the Earth, which acts on all objects with mass. This force pulls the satellite toward the Earth, creating a balance between gravitational pull and its forward momentum, resulting in an orbit. The strength of the gravitational force decreases with distance, but at the relatively close range of low Earth orbit, it remains significant enough to keep the satellite in a stable path around the planet.
Tons are a measure of mass with dimensions in mass, whereas Newtons are a measure of force. A body of mass 2 tons on earth would have a mass of 2 tons on the moon but because of the difference in the gravitational force exerted by the Earth and Moon, the force exerted by the body would be quite different. Newtons are a metric unit whereas tons is an imperial unit. 1 metric tonne = 1000 kg.
If you have a mass of 65 kg, you would weigh approximately 637 Newtons on the Earth. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, and it is calculated by multiplying mass by the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2 on Earth).

Cus it is cool.
Yes, the gravitational force exerted on an object is measured in newtons. It is commonly calculated using the formula F = mg, where F represents force in newtons, m is the object's mass in kilograms, and g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s^2 on Earth).
On the moon, the force exerted by 10 newtons would be approximately 1.63 newtons, because the moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. This means that objects will weigh much less on the moon compared to Earth.
Newtons are a unit of force, measuring the amount of force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram by one meter per second squared. On Earth, objects experience a gravitational force that causes them to have weight. The weight of an object is often expressed in newtons, representing the force exerted on it by gravity.
Technically, the Earth and any satellite both circle their mutual center of mass. Just like the balancing of an adult and a child on a see-saw, since the earth's mass is several times the mass of the satellite, their common center of mass is closer to the earth's center than it is to the satellite. Even in the case of the moon, the pair's common center of mass is inside the earth. In the case of any man-made artificial satellite, the mass ratio is several gazillion, and the common center of mass can't be more than a hair's breadth from the earth's center. So for any satellite, including the moon, it looks exactly as if the satellite is circling the earth.

The weight of an object is the force exerted on it by gravity. On the Moon, gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth's. Therefore, a 1 kg object would weigh approximately 1.6 newtons on the Moon, compared to about 9.8 newtons on Earth.
The weight of a 10 kg mass on Earth would be approximately 98.1 Newtons. This is because weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, and on Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s^2.
Lots of ways. For example, the momentum of satellite + meteor before the impact, is the same after the impact.
An object with a mass of 1.0 kg has a weight of 9.807 newtons.
86.16kg or about 190 pounds at the earth's surface.
