If you were sitting at rest on the moon, what forces would be present?
I know that there is a weight force, and maybe a normal force...
Thank you

The weight of an object on the moon is approximately 1/6th of its weight on Earth. This is because the moon has less mass and a weaker gravitational pull compared to Earth.
An object feels lighter on the moon because the moon has less mass and a weaker gravitational pull compared to Earth. This means that the force of gravity pulling on the object is less, resulting in a lighter weight.
Weight is the measurement of the gravitational force acting on an object, while normal force is the force exerted by a surface on an object that is in contact with it. On the moon, the weight of an object is less due to the weaker gravitational pull, but the normal force remains the same as on Earth.
Gravity on the moon is approximately 1/6th of that on Earth. This means that objects on the moon will experience a weaker force of gravity, resulting in a lighter weight. However, the moon's gravity can still affect objects by keeping them in orbit around the moon, causing tides, and shaping the moon's surface through erosion.
The forces on the moon are significantly weaker compared to those on Earth. This is due to the moon having less mass and a weaker gravitational pull. As a result, objects on the moon will have lighter weights and experience less force from gravity compared to objects on Earth.
