Explanation:
Weight = mass of object × acceleration due to gravity
W = m × g
For earth g = 9.8 m/s^2
For moon gravity is about 1/6 part of what we have on earth so g for moon is about = 9.8/6 that is about 1.63 m/s^2
So weight of the object on earth:
W = 10 × 9.8 = 98 Newton
And weight of that object on moon:
W = 10 × 1.63 = 16.3 Newton
hope it helps
