Answer:

weight of objects on EARTH> weight of objects on MOON

Step-by-step explanation:

weight= mass * gravity

assuming both objects have the same mass, the environment with greater gravity will result in a greater weight

gravity of earth > gravity on the moon

so

weight of objects on EARTH> weight of objects on MOON

Answer:

Being that the moon has a gravitational force of 1.622m/s 2, we multiply the object's mass by this quantity to calculate an object's weight on the moon. So an object or person on the moon would weigh 16.5% its weight on earth. Therefore, a person would be much lighter on the moon. Conversely, a person is 83.5% heavier on earth than on the moon.

Step-by-step explanation:
