The weight of an object on the Moon is approximately one-sixth that of its weight on Earth. This is because the Moon has less gravitational force since it has a smaller mass and size. Thus, any object that weighs more on Earth will weigh much less when measured on the Moon. For example, an object that weighs 60 kilograms on Earth would weigh approximately 10 kilograms on the Moon. This difference in weight is an example of how the gravitational pull varies between celestial bodies and how objects behave in different environments throughout the solar system.
