Answer:

The mass of moon is 1/100 times and its radius 1/4 times that of earth. As a result, the gravitational attraction on the moon is about one sixth when compared to earth. Hence, the weight of an object on the moon is 1/6th its weight on the eart

hope it will help you

Because Earth has six times the mass of the Moon. That’s how gravity works. Here’s a way you can think about mass. Suppose you have two balls or spheres, one made of aluminum and one made of lead exactly the same size, 3-inches (7.6-am) in diameter. The lead sphere weighs a lot more than the aluminum one. If you drop them from the same distance they will hit the ground at the same time. If you kick each on the floor, the aluminum ball will move a lot with very little kick. The lead ball will hardly move and you may even break a toe.

Suppose you are aboard the International Space Station with your two spheres. They are both apparently floating. Neither weighs anything because you are in freefall with micro-gravity, Swat the aluminum sphere with your hand and it will move in a straight line perhaps bouncing off the bulkhead straight back at you. Now swat the lead sphere. It hardly moves and you may even break a finger because it has, I think, 27 times more mass than the aluminum. Even with no apparent weight, it is simply much harder to overcome its resistance to being moved.
