    We use the relationship F = m x a, adapted for Weight: W = m x g

    Weight is the force, m is the mass and g is the acceleration of gravity. Take an example: you are 100 kg made up of 70 kg of body mass and 30 kg of space suit. Your weight on the Moon would be 100 kg x 1.62 m/s^2 = 162 Newtons (weight force).

    On Earth that would be a Weight of 100 kg x 9.81 m/s^2 = 981 Newtons.
