Dear Student
The weight of an object depends on ‘g’ acceleration due to gravity, and the value of ‘g’ on earth: and moon is not same.
g = GM/R^2
The mass and radius of the earth is more than the mass and radius of the moon.
As G whole Mn/R^2the weight of a body on the earth is 6 times more than the weight of a same body on moon.
Thanks
