Solution

Dear student,

The acceleration due to gravity, denoted by 'g' is more on earth as compared to that on moon. The value of gravity on the surface of the earth is equal to 9.8 m/s² while gravity of the moon is 1.63 m/s². Thus, the value of gravity on moon is 1/6th to that of the value on earth. The mass of an object remains the same but the weight differs on moon and earth. The weight of an object is less on moon as compared to that on earth.

Regards.
