What happens to the mass and weight of an object on the surface of the moon?

The mass of an object does not change simply because of a change of location. However, since weight is determined by both the mass of the object and the force of gravity acting on it, the weight of an object on the Moon is less than the weight of that same object on the Earth because the Moon exerts a smaller gravitational force.
