"The moon is much smaller than the earth. As a result, the force of gravity on the moon is
only about one sixth as strong as gravity on earth. Gravity is what holds us down on the
earth's (or moon's) surface.

If you were to weigh yourself on a scale here on earth and then could take that same scale
to the moon and weigh yourself there, the weight read on the moon would be 1/6 your earth
weight. So, If you weighed 100 pounds on earth, you would weigh only about 16 pounds on the
moon."

divide your weight on earth by 6 to get your weight on the moon
