'Heavy' is not really an appropriate term. We know the mass of the moon, 7.35 x 1022 kg or about 1/81 of the Earth's mass. But heavy implies weight, and that is a variable, in space!

the moon's mass is 7.349 x 10 to the power 22 (kg)
the earth's mass is 5.9736 x 10 to the power 24 (kg)
so that put easy is approx 12 % of the earth

It's 2 and a quarter inches round and made of cheese so that makes it 7 ounces.

7.3477Ã10^22 kg
That is scientific notation, which is a way to write really big numbers without having to write all the zeroes.
Here is the same number written in regular notation:
73,477,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg

It's weightless, just like anything else floating in space.
