    First, we must divide the astronaut's weight by earth's gravitational constant (9.81) : 58/9.81=5.91, then we must take this number and multiply it by the moon's gravitational constant (1.6), To find the astronaut weighs roughly 9.45 kg on the moon.

    Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

    On the moon, gravity = 1.6 m/s².

    The astronaut, with his mass of 58 kg, weighs

    (58 kg) x (1.6 m/s²) = 92.8 newtons (about 21.1 pounds)

    On the Earth, gravity = 9.8 m/s².

    The astronaut, with his mass of 58 kg, weighs

    (58 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 568.4 newtons (about 127.9 pounds)
