The kilogram is a measure of mass, not a measure of force. His mass will remain the same (i.e. 60kg) regardless of the gravitational field he is in. But as the moon has a weaker gravitational field than the Earth the bathroom scales that stopped at 60 on the Earth will stop at 10 on the Moon.

First of all, two comments are in order. First, that a kilogram is a unit of mass, not of weight. The unit for weight is the newton, since weight is a force. Second, 1 kg is not a typical mass for a man - a typical man would have a mass of at least 50 kg.

An object that has a mass of 1 kg on Earth would also have a mass of 1 kg on the Moon.

Such an object - an object with a mass of 1 kg - would weigh about 9.8 newton on Earth, and 1.62 newton on the Moon.

Because the force of gravity on the moon is 1/6 that of the earth.

^this answer is wrong. kg does not account for gravity, therefore a 60kg man would weigh 60kg on the moon.

What do people weigh on the moon?

The gravity on the Moon is about 1/6 of the gravity on Earth, so a 120 pound person on Earth would weigh 20 pounds on the Moon.

If you weighed 150 pounds on earth how much would you weigh on mars?

The mass and diameter of the planet Mars is less that of Earth so there are changes to how the gravity effects you. This would cause a normally 150 pound person to only weigh 56 pounds on Mars.


How much would a 70 kg man weigh on the moon?

You would weigh approximately one-sixth of what you weigh on earth, so 11 2/3 kg.


How much does a man weight on the moon?

The moon is much smaller than the Earth. As a result, the force of gravity on the moon is only about one sixth as strong as gravity on earth. If you were to weigh yourself on a scale here and then could take that same scale to the moon and weigh yourself, the weight read on the moon would be 1/6 your earth weight. So, if you weighed 100 lbs on earth, you would only weigh about 16lbs on the moon. Talk about losing weight fast!
