 Question : Will the weight of the earth and the moon be the same?


Answer:

The pull of gravity on the Moon is 1/6 times weaker than that on the Earth. This causes

the weight of the object on the Moon to be less than that on the Earth by six times. 


Acceleration due to gravity on the Moon = 1.63 ms power of –2 


If the mass of a man is 70 kg then his weight on the Earth is 686 N and on the Moon is 114 N. But his mass is still 70 kg on the Moon.
