How Much Would You Weigh On the Moon?

I found this very interesting website called "Your Weight On Other Worlds." All you have to do is enter your current weight and click "Calculate," and the website will tell you how much you would weigh on the Moon, Mars, the Sun, and many more. You weigh more or less on different worlds because of the difference in their gravitational pulls. Since the Moon has a weaker gravitational pull than the Earth does, you would weigh less there than you do here. Similarly, since the Sun has a stronger gravitational pull than the Earth does, you would weigh more there than you do here (Source: http://wonderopolis.org/wonder/how-much-do-you-weigh-on-the-moon/).
