* Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
* Mass is the amount of matter in an object and remains constant.
The Moon has significantly less gravity than Earth (about 1/6th). This means that an object on the Moon will experience a weaker gravitational pull, resulting in a lower weight.
Example: A 100 kg person on Earth would weigh approximately 16.5 kg on the Moon. Their mass remains the same, but their weight changes due to the difference in gravity.
