Detailed explanation-1: -The gravity on the moon is one-sixth of the Earth. This is because gravity changes with the change in planet / heavenly body where the weight of the object is measured.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is the moon’s gravity? The gravity of the moon is 1/6 of Earth. So if you stepped on a scale on the moon, you could subtract 83.5%. For example, that means 100 kg in weight would be 16.5 kg on the moon.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Earth’s Moon has considerably less mass than the Earth itself. Not only is the Moon smaller than the Earth, but it is only about 60 percent as dense as Earth. Thus, the gravitational attraction on the Moon is much less than it is here on Earth, and a person weighs less on the Moon.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mass of the moon is 1/100 times and the radius of the moon is 1/4 times that of the earth. Since the acceleration due to the gravity of the moon is one-sixth of that of the earth. So Weight of any object on Moon = 1/6 × Weight of any object on the Earth surface.
