The gravitational force exerted on an object depends on the mass of the object and the gravitational field strength of the celestial body it is on. The Moon has approximately one-sixth (1/6) the gravitational field strength of Earth. Therefore, if your weight is 48 kg on Earth, your weight on the Moon would be:

Weight on the Moon = Weight on Earth × (Moon's gravitational field strength / Earth's gravitational field strength) Weight on the Moon = 48 kg × (1/6) Weight on the Moon = 8 kg

So, your weight on the Moon would be approximately 8 kg.
