  • The weight of an object on the moon is equal to 1/6th of its weight on the Earth.
  • Weight = (mass) × (acceleration due to gravity of planet)
  • At the surface of the earth
  • Weight = mg
  • At the surface of Moon
  • Weight = mg / 6
  • ∵ Acceleration due to Moon’s gravity = (Acceleration due to Earth’s gravity)/6
  • ∴ Weight on moon = 1/6 × Weight on earth
