Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of matter contained inside a body is called its mass while the weight of a body is the gravitational force with which it is attracted towards the earth.
Weight, W = mg
m is the mass and g is acceleration due to gravity
The mass of the object on the moon remains the same but the weight of the body is reduced to one sixth. This is because the moon's gravity is less than the earth's gravity.
Hence, this is the main difference in the weight of the object on the earth and on the moon.
