Correct Answer: 1/6th


Solution : The correct option is 1/6th.

The weight of an object on the moon is approximately 1/6th of its weight on Earth. This is because the force of gravity on the moon is about 1/6th of the gravity on Earth. The weight formula is W = mg, where W is weight, m is mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Since the Moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's, the weight of an object on the Moon is less than its weight on Earth.
