The correct question would be -
What is the moon's mass?
All things vary in weight depending on the forces - such as gravity - acting upon them.
Mass tells you how much stuff is in an object.

I thought this was a fascinating question so I decided to do some looking. It seems impossible to determine exactly what it "weighs", but we do look at the moon in terms of MASS.
Mass (kg) 7.349e+22
Mass (Earth = 1) 1.2298e-02
However there's a second website that says the moon wiegh 81 quintillion tons. I have no idea how heavy that is... but wow, it sure sounds like we're lucky to have it floating around the earth!!

Dont know..but they do!

and they do
Weight / Mass on the Moon | Flash simulation, Animation ...
AND I DO NOW..Technically zero. Things in space are weightless.
Weight only comes into the equation when you decide what value of gravity you want to use in the calculation, and that depends on where you are.
If I weigh 12 stones on Earth, I only weigh 2 stones on the Moon
However my mass is the same in both places.
The Moon's mass is 7.343 x 10 (pwr19) tonnes.
73,430,000,000,000,000,000 tonnes
or 7.232 x 10 (power19) tons = 0.0123 Earth masses.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS

It is not very much, because it floats. Did you notice that? I know, it's hard to believe. It looks heavy. It's really not! Ha! I know, that's amazing! It's like, is that moon going to fall on us? No, it won't! Don't worry! The moon is lightweight! OK!

well isn't it got a lot of dust on it so if you pick it up and all the dust fell off i don't think it will be to heavy mite be a bit smaller as well as all these years up there collecting dust
