    on earth = 833 N

    on moon = 136 N

    No

    Explanation:

    Weight = mass * gravitational acceleration

    (Assume gravitational acceleration on earth = 9.8 ms⁻²)

    Weight on Earth = 85 * 9.81

    = 833 N

    Weight on moon = 85 * 1.61

    = 136 N

    Weight depends on the gravitational acceleration. But mass is independent from it

    Mass doesnt change when we move object to one planet to another planet though Gravitational acceleration is varying planet to planet
