hi,
Multiply weight by the moon's gravity relative to earth's, which is 0.165.
The Moon's gravity is much less than the Earth's gravity - approximately one sixth. So, a 100 kg astronaut weighs 980N on Earth. On the Moon, the astronaut would weigh only 162.2N. However, the astronaut's mass is 100kg wherever they are. Weight on Earth: 100kg x 9.8m/s2 = 980N.
hope it helps you
