Gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s2,and gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2. So,if the mass of an object on earth is 40 kilo, it’s mass on the moon is _ kilo and it’s weight on the moon is _ Newton’s

Gravity has no effect on mass, and mass doesn't change, no matter where you are.

40 kilograms is 40 kilograms ... On Earth, on the moon, or floating "weightless" on your way from one to the other.
