I’m not sure how that works.

BRAVE AI:

Moon Earth Mass Comparison

The mass of the Moon is significantly smaller than that of the Earth. The Moon’s mass is approximately 7.34 × 10²² kg, which is about 1.2% of Earth’s mass.

This means that the Earth’s mass is roughly 81 times greater than the Moon’s mass.

For comparison, the Earth’s mass is approximately 5.97 × 10²⁴ kg.

Therefore, the Moon’s mass is about 1/81 of Earth’s mass.

The moon’s gravity is significantly weaker than Earth’s, approximately 1/6th the strength. This means an object on the Moon would weigh about 16.5% of its weight on Earth. For example, a 100 kg object on Earth would weigh about 16.5 kg on the Moon.
