Weight is actually the gravitational force on the object With=Mgi. The gravitation is more on earth when compared to Moon (he>gm) for the weight to be equal, the mass of the object on the Moon should be more than that of earth. mEgE=mMgM. That implies. me=gm/he(mm<Mm). (OR). According to w=mg,mass of object on moon will be greater, As the value of g on earth is 9.8m/s^2 while that on moon is 1.6m/s^2
